Kitchen counters???

[EWC88]

Hey guys, I was wondering if a Kitchen Counter would be ok to use to have my 37g tank sit on.

I didn't know if they would have to get reconstructed or not.
Cause I was looking today at Home Depot and saw some that I liked that thought hell I should get one for the tank..

But wanted to ask you guys first if it would be ok or not

:lol: thats a 1st! do u plan on cooking the fish while in the kitchen? i never heard of that. why in the kitchen?

[Doahh]

Having fish in the kitchen is bad because of cooking fumes, etc.

I wouldn't put it in the kitchen but if you wanted to use kitchen counter material as a platform, then get something that won't warp or is water proof (granite, marble, or silestone).

Yes, it will work fine as a base. Just support it just like you would any other material... with 2x4's...

i had a 28gallon i think it was, on my counter for a while before i switched to a 46gallon. I think i even put the 46 there till I got the stand

Oh crap that came out wrong...I'm not going to put it in the kitchen I was going to use one of the counters as a stand for my fish...

how would I support it with 2x4's? On the corners?

wow....good idea, bet you could get a nice counter for not much money, with a nice granite top.

Ya think it would cause any stress for the fish as they watch dinner being prepared on friday nights? :lolspin:
