30" cubes (length,height & width are all the same, which is 2ft1/2)?
That equals 116g each.
Are these glass or acrylic?
Glass thickness may be very marginal, I wouldn't use it for MONSTERS.
It can be done with internal bracing but it wouldn't look that great and would be more bother than it's worth.
If you have a special need for this go for it.

Not to derail plausibles thread but...
Remove one side from each tank and bond the two tanks together, then install a couple of .5" x 4" braces from one new seam to the other and clamp for 72 hrs.

take off the plastic framing... use the inner long sides of the tank to make each side...and I would recommend getting a custom cut glass or highly treated plywood bottom. Could cost as little as $40 to do.
I have joined tanks numerous times. No real dramas if you dont mind the vertical join line. On 10mm thick glass up to 60cm high/deep, you dont even need a brace but if you have tankbusters or the tank is not in your fishroom (ie expensive if it leaks) then I would add a small brace. I have joined up to three - 8 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot tanks ... just to get a 24 foot tank and even joined some at right angles to make long or L shaped corner tanks.
Have enclosed a photo of 2 tanks joined, (both 6x2x2 foot) because this apartment is on the 7th floor and 6 foot was the largest size I could fit in the elevator. Joining tanks is much cheaper although if you do have a long glass tank (over 10 foot) I would recommend a split (2 piece) bottom to allow flexibility.

What about doing a bridge setup?
