    Thanks Liz. These have been pretty strong, but they do flex a bit if you bump them. I've seen some really strong looking ones at Costco, but they are 6 ft tall and don't split in to two pieces. Too big plus expensive. I've started building my own wooden ones.

    More than half of my tanks sit on gorilla racks, which do flex. These vary from 125's, 75's to 37 cubes. But they all sit on 1" pink styrofoam sheets and have never leaked. Somehow, Cliff's comment on substandard silicone near the top rings true.
