New tank placement

[seahawkfan]

Hi guys, I am new to the world of nano-tanks. I used to have a 125 gallon FO tank so I know how heavy tanks get. I have seen pictures of nano tanks on tables and desks, I want to put my new 12 gallon nano on my pony-wall ( half wall with cabinets underneath). It is constructed like a normal wall with 2X4 reinforcements and is perfectly level. Has anyone else put one in a spot like this, I REALLY don't want a cave in. Thanks in advance, J.

A loaded 12 gallon nano only weighs 120-130 lbs. tops. You will be fine putting it there. In addition to the tank being level, make sure that no part of the tank sits beyond the wall. In other words, the full footprint of the tank is supported by some sort of flat structure.

Thanks for the input. There is plenty of wall, and I have a trued piece of plywood for under the tank. Thanks again, that puts my mind at ease. Time to start. J.
