Would this hold, say... a 40 gallon fish tank?

The weight limit for the top of this unit is only 50lbs. I would assume a 40 gallon fish tank would exceed that, but I don't really have any knowledge of the weight on that. Sauder recommends that you stay within the weight and dimensional guidelines listed on their products. Thank you.

I'm sure the desk itself can hold a 40 pound fish tank but you cannot put too much stuff in the drawers as they tend to sag and then break.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give the overall unit an 8 for sturdiness. HOWEVER, having grown up with a father who has a fondness for fish, I'd worry more about the height/depth of the unit. I don't have a fish tank handy, but in my mind, a 12G tank is deeper than the unit is. Also, the total height with the fish tank might be too much without bolting the unit to the wall. Lastly, the support for the top of the unit is all on the right and left edges. There is a middle plank, but that acts more like a partition for the top two shelves rather than a central support beam. If you have a tank with a evenly dispersed base, it might work...but I think it's still a 50/50 endeavor either way. Hope this helps.

I would say it would be too powerful for a 40 fresh. If your fish poops a lot I would suggest a filter, or a water change.

I don't think there would be a problem placing a fish tank on top of it. It seems well built.

It is a nice stand, but I do not believe it will hold a fish tank of that size. Although, it is sturdy, it is not very wide. Hope this helps.

I don't think it is strong enough for the big fish tank. A small on emay be ok.

I am using it to hold a 52 inch flat screen TV. A fish tank will weigh a lot more especially a large one. It seems sturdy and well-built my guess would be that it would work

The top shelf would hold a 10 gal. Tank but the shelf below, not quite. Possibly an 8 gal. would fit there. I use the lower shelf for Critter Keepers with frogs in them

It should handle the weight just fine, since it is rated for 29 gallons along with 20 and 37. Just check the measurements of the 29 to make sure they match the shelf. I have 2 of these stands that I keep 20 gallon long tanks on.

It's not nearly big enough for a 40 lb bag of dog food. The dimensions are about 12"x24"x18" - maybe it could hold 10lbs.

I am using this stand to hold a 55 gallon tank with fresh water. Do not know about reef tanks ?

My tank is a 275 gal, oblong shape it fits. Measure and see how tall it is, if it's between 42" and 44" tall it should fit.

I have a 40 gallon and this size works well, it should e adequate for that size also

You'd have to look at the measurements of the tank. I got this for my 30 gal tank.

I'm not sure about this, but I would check the tank's width and look for a similar dimension in a divider specifically designed for aquariums in general. I would think this information would be readily available with some research on Amazon. Hope this is helpful :)

It depends on the size you order. I have one for a 40 gallon tank and one for a 20 gallon tank. Just make sure that you order the correct dimensions and it will be fine. The hinge is a great idea and makes feeding so much easier.

It depends on the size but it holds a med sized black bag fine. We have also used 39 gallon bags but they are a little large
