Anyone Ever Stand A Tank On End?

good to hear

All went exceptionally well and I'm proud to report there was absolutely ZERO flooding throughout my house [Thanks for the tip on removing the water, lol]

There were a few hairy moments primarily due to the stairwell I had to stand it up on is narrow enough to only allow one person on each end goes seemingly straight up.
It's in place and all ready to cycle!

Glad it all worked out for you.

water weighs 8 pounds to the gallon, think about the force being exherted on all the panals of the glass every momment while they are filled up. If they can take that, they can take being stood on the end. Glad to read it went well.

8.34lbs, but i'm not counting, so roughly 8.
