I have a very tight shelf I will be using for my tank (I know I know it's less than ideal, but it's what have to work with).
I received a lot of wonderful advice that this is a tough spot for any spills, which I agree with.
Would it make sense for me to build a small platform for the tank to sit on? Or are there any other options that would work?
Maybe just a 2x4 frame, constructed in a way that gave me just a couple of inches of airflow underneath the tank (and the ability to reach in there with a towel or sponge to clean up any spills?
This may also spread the weight load over a bit more surface area (and that center piece would align perfectly with the primary center support in the shelf.
* I realize I forgot to draw in a centerpiece directly over the existing one in the image to give support to the center of the tank, I would add that as well)
