Will this hold my 55 Gallon...

acrylic tank?

Whats going inside the tank are two Comet Goldfish. Just a temporary until I get to building that pond.

It was in the garage. Its a GF ( General Fireproofing brand made in USA )

Thanks for stopping by. Excuse me if I post this in the wrong area. New to posting.

I think you are safe. My first tank years ago was a 55 gallon and I had it on top of a cheap Wal-Mart entertainment center. You know, the ones made out of particle board and you have to assemble yourself. I had all kinds of electronics and a heavy 27'' Sony TV then the tank on top. I laugh about it now because It actually held up for 2 years. The stand you have looks really sturdy.

It looks well built, very sturdy. i don't think you will have any problem.

Thank you so much for your replies. I can finally relax without thinking about the whole thing falling apart.

Funny thing is I went to go measure it... the length of the table is 36 inches and the length of the 55 Gallon is 48 inches. 6 inches on each side hanging out to make things even.

Should I lay out some 48 inch + plywood on the table then the tank?

That's risky IMO with the uneven weight across the floor. I would not put the tank there like that. You have to remember the added weight from decorations as well if you set it up permanently.

And take in to account whether or not it will be top heavy may not fall in but may fall over!

Another vote for "don't do it" here, especially with the tank being 12 inches wider than the table. Those 4 skinny table legs look a little worrying to me.
