    I used the exact same rack for 3 20g longs for a while. Never had any issues. It eventually got replaced with a rack I built myself; for aesthetics, not because of any worry about structural strength.

    Most home improvements stores will carry racks a lot like this. Lowes I know for certain carries them in a wide assortment of sizes. A lot of them will also have the NSF (National Science Foundation) mark which indicates they have been independently evaluated by a third party for quality and safety.

    I have those racks (2 of them). I bought them over 10 yrs ago at Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $50 each I believe. And yes, they are easy to put 2gether & are not that heavy. One rack has had a 29 gallon aquarium with sand, rocks etc. sitting on the 2nd shelf over plywood for over 10 yrs. The top & 3rd shelves have nano tanks, the bottom shelf I store the fish food, medications etc. in small plastic storage bins. I believe the shelves are rated at a max of 350 or 400lbs per shelf. My 29 gallon is quite sturdy on the shelf and must weigh at least 325 lbs. Initially, I was concerned about the tank’s weight, but that has not been an issue. However, please note, the racks will rust if moisture sits on the racks metal structure over a period of time. Mine have acclimated some rust. My 2nd rack holds a 43” Flat Screen TV on the top shelf. 2nd shelf has two 12 gallon cylindrical acrylic tanks sitting on top of plywood. 3rd shelf has a 6 gallon guppy pond (plastic tub) & a nano tank. Bottom shelf is used for storage of equipment in small plastic bins. I love these racks. You can set up multiple tanks within a small footprint. I’m considering buying another to set up at least two to three 29 gallons aquariums. I need more tanks, my jewels, convicts, Kribs keep on spawning.
    P.S., mine are the silver chrome, not black painted.

    Thanks for this video! Have often wanted to get a rack for some of my nano tanks, but don't have a lot of space for a big bulky rack. This would be perfect. A tip for anywhere you put a tank (rack, desk, counter, etc) is to put a wooden cutting board under the tank - the kind that has a trough running around the edge to prevent liquids from spilling off the edge. The wood absorbs splashes of water so you don't have to mop up every drop, and if you have an spill over while working in the tank, the trough gives you time to reach for a towel before the water goes over the edge... :) A family member found some for me that were seconds, so they were dirt cheap... and they work great...!!!

    I've been looking into this because I got the same shelf from Walmart, put it together, then saw someone made a video where they've had issue with tanks falling off of this rack and now I'm afraid to use it, lol.
    I WAS going to put a rimmed 20g long on the lowest shelf and debated another 20g Long for the middle shelf, but that might be overkill. I don't want anything on the highest shelf/above my head.
    I have 3 x 5g's, 1 x 10g, 1 x 20g long, 4 x 2.5g's and a weird half hexagon 6.5g.
    I'm not worried about putting the 6.5g on that shelf. I have nine bettas and I was going to divide the 20g long 4 ways to provide 5g's a piece which would leave me with five other betta.
    If it wasn't overkill, it'd be nice to do a second 20g Long the same way and have eight betta on the one stand. I may end up just doing one divided 10g, two 5g or 3-4 2.5g's if they can fit.
    The 2.5g's aren't ideal, but they'll be okay until I get more/better shelving. They were originally got as small quarantine tanks. I'd prefer at least 5g a piece if not more.

I'm wondering is the 5 shelf unit would be too big to use for tanks? As in, too tall to be stable, tipping over danger? Of course I wouldn't put tanks on the top shelves, but maybe some nice vining plants, or decorations. I see that right now, 7-27-23, this 4 shelf unit is $70. I can wait for a sale though. :)

      The lights come with plastic brackets to rest on fish tank rims. For our set-up we are using picture hanging wire and attached it to the shelves above.

    I've not tried the painted one but the chrome is slick enough to lead to a disaster in the fish room. I had one to collapse and lost several species of dwarf chameleons. The enclosures were the small zoomed one's with the opening front so they basically weigh nothing.

    Cool, I use the 3 Tier Origami shelf rack that holds 250 per shelf without wheels. I have four of them and got a set of connection bridge racks to have additional shelves between stands. And of course I used 1/2" plywood per shelf for added support, painted them black as well :)

    Hoping they could hold up a 3'x1'x'1 (about 50 gallons). A quick calculation shows that the water alone should weigh about 90kg, the tank itself around 5-6kg or so. The one I'm getting is rated at 400kg per level. Do you think it's safe or should I just get a real stand instead?

    Have you modified the 2.5 gallon tanks in any way to get the lids to lay flat?
    My 2.5 is a Seapora (Aquarium Masters) tank.
    The air hose and heater cord pops the lid up at the back. Been tempted to get a glass cutter to trim the lid, but it's a very small amount to trim.

    I have the same shelf and I noticed the bars on the edge at a tiny bit higher then the rest of the shelf wires. I think I am going to get board that sits on the inside but worried that won’t hold as much weight?
