Re: [Killietalk] 20 gallon fish rack

Keith - I've done it both ways, but it makes sense to distribute the weight 
load as much as possible, so dividing it among four frames puts less stress 
on the tank. I failed to mention I keep my stuff in the basement on a 
concrete floor. In a wood-frame house, the strongest location in a room will 
be a corner.
