I got a Kia Soul as a personal everyday driver... With racks.
It would be nice if they had a similar stand only 18 inches wide. It looks like a good stand with plenty of strength.
If the selves are welded then it should be ok, but if they are adjustable...I wouldn't trust it.
There was a thread about a similar rack, but from Home Depot, a couple of months ago.
On that post, I advised against using the rack. Reason being that while it can support a maximum weight of 1 ton, there'll probably be a bit of flexion/torsion, especially when the weight gets close to the maximum. This flexion/torsion will cause your tank to put unequal pressure to the tank which can over time may compromise the tank's seal. Remember, this rack is NOT designed for aquarium use.

Why would it flex though? If the weight is distributed evenly, like it would be. Shouldn't the amount of weight per square foot be the same?
This is a mass produced product, using the most minimal and cheapest quality material and unlikely built to a high tolerant level...........to maximize profit. Plus, it is assembled by the owner(s), not welded or even bolted at the very least.
I have racks that are adjustable and what holds it in place is a cheap plastic ring(two halves) that are keyed to small indents in the metal posts. These have slipped on me with very little pressure despite the advertised max weight load.
I have similiar racks like this at work and I seen them collapse with a lot less weight then what they recomeded. I would not trust 2 125's on them . Not trying to be a clown but just something to think about.
