Plan>B, The set up you have on the bottom shelf is what you need on every shelf. You will also need 1/4 to 1/2 plywood under each tank. You could get away with 1/4 and use a foam board to help level out the load. That will help the tanks from sagging. You could also get away with using 2" square tubing with 1" angle on top of that to help keep the tanks from moving. My only concern is the 8' span and the wight load on it.

As for the tank set up are you going with a closed loop from top to bottom. Or are you setting each tank on it's on water system?

As for your height of 10" are you going to grow softies, are SPS? Because you could get away with a shorter tank for softies( mushrooms, brains, BTA's) Plus what are you going to use lighting. Are you going T-5 or Hal.

Please keep us up to date, as you can tell I am also a Saltwater finatic ( pun / not typo).
