Upgrading Tank


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hi Bros,

I currently have a 36(W)16(L)x16(H) and is planning to upgrade to a 36(W)x18(L)x22(H).

The 36x16x16 with water is calculated to be 155kg wheras the 36x18x22 is 240 kg, both figures without rocks and sand included. I estimated that it will be about 50% more heavier including sand and LR.

Can my existing stainless steel take the weight? This stand was given to me by a friend and it is stainless steel, ideal for the corrosive nature of SW. I have included a picture shown with the sump at the bottom of the tank. The square sections of the stand is 30mm. The sump will be half filled during normal operation and not what you see in the picture, filled almost to the brim.

Any help appreciated.

:thanks::thanks:
