My wife and I are thinking of getting a fish tank, but our son is almost 1 and pulling himself up on just about every piece of furniture we have. Obviously, we don't want the tank to take a dive if he pulls himself up on its stand, so one option we've toyed with is actually putting the aquarium on a shelf, where it's high enough that he can't get to it easily, but low enough that he can see the fish. The rest of the room has fairly clean lines, so we were thinking of using floating shelves, but I'm not sure that they will be strong enough to support 120+ lbs of fish tank and related "stuff". Does anyone have any idea how much weight floating shelves can generally hold, or whether there's a modified design that might permit us to do something similar? It wouldn't be the end of the world if we had to use brackets, but we'd prefer not.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
