Looks like you bounced back better than ever! I like the side workstation improvmets.

What is that? Looks awesome, and therefore probably above my skill level and price point

If it is in my skill level, it is in anybody's skill level...
Will just have to see how long I can keep it alive lol

Finally tackled the mess of wires coming from the tank and got my hospital tank all set up.
I am completely out of space over here so I had to get creative. Turned into a fun project!

Weight and maybe tipping over when extended

The tank is 20 gallon so all in, with the shelf I think I am around 210 lbs
The slides are supposedly "Rated at 500lb" - These-
I also anchored the entire cabinet to the wall behind so hopefully it does not tip or lean

Phew! I figured you thought of that with all the detail in that layout but wanted to help in case there was a slightest chance of oversight. We all do it.

is that a slide-out tank?

Yep, just need to face the cabinet so it can all tuck away neatly

That’s neat, what’s the slider rated for?

Supposedly 500lbs... I am about to find out for sure lol

I'd fill it with sand or something solid before filling it with a liquid and doing a weight test.

it would be interesting to see how it lasts overtime from all the water change/wear-tear. i thought about this some time ago when i was building my stand but because it's saltwater i decided to go against it.

I am going to pull the tank off the drawer and throw about 200 lbs of weights on there. Good suggestion!

That is a good point. I will have to be careful when doing water changes. Also have a tight fitting lid to avoid bubbling/splashing. My hope is that because it is only a hospital tank, it won't get too much use. Fingers crossed on that one
