Please tell me if I'm being stupid, part of thinks I am and the rest tells me I'm not.
I'd like to use an existing sideboard as the cabinet for a Roma 240, I'm just trying to not have to build a complete new cabinet for it.
It's got a cupboard at either end and three drawers in the middle. Now I figure that if I add a supporting frame in both cupboards that this will add enough strength to take the weight of the aquarium. Now onto the feet of the sideboard, if I again build a frame similar to how you would for decking but with more cross sections would this add enough support to the base to stop the weight of the tank forcing the feet through the bottom and causing the whole thing to drop to the floor?
I think I've made sense?
So, am I being stupid?
Here is a pic of it as it stands now.
