I just bought this shelf:
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=293826-315-FG5H0800CSLRK&lpage=none

I am only using 2 out of the 4 shelves. I am going to put a 15 gallon tank on the top shelf and a 20 gallon long on the bottom shelf. The top is going to be a frag tank and the bottom is going to be a sump. Will there be any problem with this? I was told that if I but some foam and then some plywood the weight would be more distributed and safer, should I try this idea out?

Thanks

I would say it will hold a max of 200 per shelf. If you really have to use the top shelf i would definitely secure to wall so it doesn't tip. I would probably use weights to test the shelf to make sure it doesn't look compromised

How would I secure it to a wall?
