Wall Mount Tank ... Possible ?


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

I wanted to have a tank with dimensions below:

1. Does anybody knows the Gallons based on the dimensions ?

2. Anybody knows if it's possible to mount this tank to the wall with a base shelf / wood or whatever ?

3. Any idea or pictures of such small wall mounted tank on internet ?

Appreciate all sharings ......

Just text my friend ... he also calculated about the same answer as you.

That is provided Filled with Water.

But it should only be fill to 80% of the height of tank.

Wonder how to mount to wall with a Base Plank Shelf .....

Any ideas ?

This pic is taken somewhere in SRC thread n from the internet too..for ur reference..

Imho, 90kg is neither heavy nor light..safety come 1st..to hold safely, the bracket or the wall must b strong..strong bracket will b like bracket that hold air con compressor..won't b sightly though in my eyes..there r nice bracket in the market definitely that can hold such weight but think it won't come cheap..shop like N30 shd b able to quote u..

Cheers..

The bracket needs to be strong to limit the deflection to the level that glass tank can tolerate hence big bracket.

Another consideration is on the wall itself. Brick wall may not be able to support big glass tank mounted on it as it may cracks.

Perhaps you can consider to cut open the wall to the tank size and let the tank sit partially on the wall and therefore the bracket can be smaller.

NOted with thanks.

I suppose cutting thru the wall does not sounds good for me.

Brackets sounds good but dunno which type .. still trying to explore internet to find out brackets that can hold but do not spoil the looks of the tank.
