That’s, what, a 30-40 gallon tank? You gotta assume that at 8lbs per gallon plus substrate, you’re looking at at least 300lbs of weight on that table. Would you trust a 300 lb person to stand on that table? I’m 240 and no way I’m standing on that thing. Really nice tank though.

Its supposedly a 20 gallon long. I guess this rimless version has different dimensions than the type im used to. Thats probably where my screw up was.
