    Default Tank over hang

    Would this be safe I have some 20 gal longs that I would like to put on a steel self stand that is 24 inches wide so the tanks will have 3" hanging over on each end not sure this would be ok.

    I agree. Not worth the risk. Could you put 3/4 plywood under the full length of the tank? Seems that would work OK.

    I've done it before without ill effect. Wouldn't recommend it though, especially considering how cheap a 20H is.

    I would also agree with the others...not a hand over design but check out this vid I got from a local forum and still unsure why it benefits a regular style rack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUIt...utu.be&t=4m44s
