Commencing Stress Testing...
On the calculator a 150kg was anticipated.
Okay, let's look at the challenger: No. 9 tank, bigger than your 1ft tank but smaller than 2ft.
44 x 28 x 30cm, weighing at 4kg Glass Tank.
How would our challenger fare tonight? Let's dance!
4kg as per scale
25kg mark
Almost full
33kg max
This would be normal water level that I maintain for my tanks.
Two of No.9 tank could easily fill this tier. Now I waited for another 5-10mins. No sound no creak. The plank is actually arched upwards. Like the back of a lorry / military truck say 3 toner, 4 toner, 5 toner, there are two metal piece which when touched will tell you that you hit your maximum load. The plank is almost touching but haven't touched the rack beam yet. Meaning I could go up to 40kg easily and it will not reach maximum yet.
So like I said previously, load isn't an issue and I am glad this stress test actually prove it. A relieve of course. : ) Do you think I am not worry about load too? Hee Hee.
Oh yes, the side plank, it is a small plank that I put at the side (left), should the plank cave in, the plank would be the first to fall, so that is a warning mechanism to tell you something is wrong. Simple hor? ^^
So why test the center, because currently, the center is the weakest point as there is no support vertically by any beams. So pretty simple test.
