Hello everyone!!!

I am hoping to put a thirty-five gallon Aquarium by this seek. Do you all think it will support it well?
If not, I have an old ten gallon I could place there.

What size aquarium would this bathroom sink safely support? I am more-or-less renting and terrified of causing damage to it.

Thank you all so much for any help/support/recommendations! I immensely appreciate it.

Should be fine. 🙂
 
Google AI says,
"A standard bathroom sink, when properly installed, can typically hold between 300 and 500 pounds. This weight capacity includes the sink itself, the countertop, and any items placed on the counter. However, some sinks, especially those made of heavier materials like granite or those with undermount installation, may be able to hold even more weight. "

Your 35 gallon tank when full will be over 300lbs +/-

Does your lease allow aquarium's? Many do not. Your landlord probably would not like seeing a 35 gallon aquarium on the bathroom sink.

I have my 29 gallon biocube on top of a single kitchen cabinet with drawer, much like the space in your picture. For a time, I also had a 7 gallon external refugium mounted in back of this.

The cabinet walls are made with MDF board that many mass produced tank stands are built with.

Considering your stand is also anchored to the two walls, I don't see why a 35 gallon tank wouldn't work. (regardless of what AI says) 🙂
