Load Capacity?
I have this aquarium stand sitting around. I was going to use it for my 55g fish/reef tank but I'm not sure what it's load capacity is. Does anyone have any idea? I think it's a marineland metal stand and it's about 48x13.

it does not look good for a 55gal. maybe 15gal (look at the bright side you dont have to go spend money in fact save by cutting down lol ) just kidding.
it doesnt look like it would support 55.

I wouldn't put anything more than 10 gallons on a stand that size. And even that is pushing it.
