Hey everyone, I'm looking at upgrading from a 10 gallon planted tank to a 30 gallon, but have some slight doubts about the ability of my desk to hold a 30 gallon and thought I might ask your opinion. I know it will fit space wise, but the weight is the real sticking point. My desk is rated to 500lbs and a 30 gallon fully filled with water only is about 240lbs. I'd position the tank along the back against a corner of the desk for maximum load bearing and viewing area. I worry mostly about the prolonged weight towards the middle of the desk. The desk has only a small amount of other stuff like a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
What do you guys think?
This is the desk I have, its an older model with a better composite wood top:
