Both of my tanks are on a solid surface.... well reasonably solid. The
surface
is 3/4" wood on a sturdy stand, and the tank sits on this. However both
tanks
have the plastic trim around the base, so I gues the glass isn't *truly*
supported on every square inch.

Marc, trying not to dwell on this too much!

OMG is right -- how big was the tank? (tanks) -- is there a certain

worried - I have a 2 story house and a 125 and a 20 upstairs. Would be
disastrous if this happened here. What ARE the odds??


I wouldn't worry to much

The first tank that went was a secondhand one I had bought from a LFS

The second one was one I had been given by an uncle and had been sitting
unused for years

The one the front went on was after my brother got drunk and fell into it
one christmas !!!
