I currently have a 75gal on a bathroom style cabinet (the front bottom is recessed). In this tank I have about 10 gals of water and turtles, so weight is not too much of a concern. However, I will be turning this tank into a fish tank, and now I am concerned with the amount of weight 65+ gals of water will have with that front bottom recessed (see attached pic).
There is pretty much no chance that I am going to buy a new stand, so I will build a new one if the group here feels that the stand in question will not support the full tank weight (calc'ed: ~630lbs with 1" of sand substrate - however, I think that adding 10% weight just to be safe - so 700lbs).
TIA
