will this cabinet support

[maxwellag]

I need to know if I could put a 36 gallon bow front tank on this cabinet... the tank filled weighs about 400 pounds. The top part of the counter has 1 inch thick wood, and the cabinet is built into the wall.

So, this is not sceintific, but the way I test things ike this is to get me and some friends to all sit on it and see if it creaks. Start with one person, and keep adding people until you are confident one way or the other.

Lol, yeah, my friends gave me ridiculous looks when I said, "Can you sit on this? I don't know if it will collapse or not." But, they did it! Oh yeah, and ask boys if you can because girls may get offended.

yea thats how i determine if something is strong enough for a tank. i also bounce on it a little to see

Personally, I only purchase furniture specifically designed for aquariums. For peace of mind.

Whilst the weight may be safe. Not all wood will react to water the same way. And some wood are weaker when wet.

as long as its not particle board. you can buy a laminate that you use for countertops
