I have a metal stand that could hold two aquariums, either 15(long) or 20(high) gallons (a 24" by 12" footprint).
Basicly I'm trying to put two 20" x 10" aquariums (standard 10 gallons) on a wooden platform that is 20" by 20" (they'd sit side by side) and put this wooden platform on top of the bottom shelf of the metal stand. The stand is the open type, where it only supports the outer edges of the (propperly sized) aquarium normally. I'm hoping that the wooden platform would give more support to the two tanks than just putting them directly on the stand and letting them 'hang off' the edges by 4 inches.
Anyone have any thoughts on this set-up?
