I made it for an aquarium. The glass aquarium itself is heavy (I'm guessing 200lbs) and it needs about 500lbs of water on top of that.
It is 4ft long, 14inches deep and just under 3ft tall. Made with 2x4s and 1x2s and the aquarium will take up the entire space of the top shelf (meaning the weight should be distributed evenly across the top).
Mostly I am wondering if it can support a half ton of weight and, if it breaks where is it most likely to break from or am I probably okay?
Thank you for your time and I apologize if this post doesn't really belong here 🙏
