I was wondering if anyone has use storage racks to hold 75 gallon tanks if so what brand? Screenshot_20180326-201840.jpg
 
I don't see any reason why you couldn't up to a point. Obviously one needs to look at the load rating. Also, if it had even the slightest wobble it would be a big no for me.
 
While all the specs say it should be able to hold tanks look at the questions and answers here at Amazon for the 'Muscle rack' brand: https://www.amazon.com/Muscle-Rack-...8&qid=1522179603&sr=8-9&keywords=muscle+racks

For some reason the manufacturer responded that "We do not recommend our shelving for fish tanks." Wonder why? Maybe due to water and rust possibilities?
I know alot of people use them to sit 40 gallon tanks I haven't heard of any one using them on 75 and up

Yeah I was looking at them myself to do Breeder sized tanks. 40B and 65B combo. It was interesting that the manufacturer made the comment about not recommended for fish tanks is all.

They probably had a few consumers have aquariums fall and possibly from not properly being level or braced securely just my assumption.

I use the Edsel brand 36x18 racks for 40 breeders and 65's. They come in 3 foot high sections that can be doubled up with connectors. I only go two tanks high though. I don't trust the connectors to hold that much weight.
