Floating 10gallon Tank ?

[oscaaar]

Hey guys question you think it’s possible to have a 10 gallon floating on a shelf mounted to concrete wall ?

I would say account for a minimum of 150Lbs. 100lbs+/- filled with water and a 1" sand bed, then add the weight of the rocks and equipment.

... you think it’s possible to have a 10 gallon floating on a shelf .... ?

I know some say there is no "stupid" question, however, to test the maxim :

You, the corals, or the fish are not magicians, right?

Finding fun in reefing and the absurd,

Lols , I should’ve been clearer . I want a 10g ATO above near my DT . Only secure place I have where my dog can’t get to it is On the concrete wall.

ah, well then figure on about 8.5-9lbs per gallon of saltwater plus about another 10-11lbs for the tank. Better be a good strong shelf for 100-110lbs. My suggestion would be to get some weights and place them on the shelf evenly about the size of your ato container for a week or so and check out the stability of the shelf, just make sure you use plenty of concrete screws..
