Hey everyone! So I’m diving back into reefing with this 32 gallon biocube. I’m in an apartment with limited space so I thought putting it on my counter top was a great way to save space and not have to worry about a stand. However now I’m having second thoughts. 32 gallons x 8 lbs per gallon is about 250 lbs…. Then sand…. Then rock…..
The final poundage is just making me a little nervous on a particle board counter top. Could any one advise me on if they think this is totally fine and I’m worried for nothing, or I should get a stand for this before I continue with the build? I’ve attached some pics from different angles. The cabinetry itself is really sturdy solid wood, but it’s hollow underneath the tank and the particle board is prolly 3/4 inch?
