Stacked tanks

[froggergirl31]

I have two 40gallon glass tanks with a stacker between the two. They are currently on a low table, but I want to move them to my den. This is my question. Should I anchor them to the wall when i move them? If so, how would I do that? My den has carpet, and drywall. Do I just find a stud, drill holes through the metal stacker and use some sort of wall anchors?

Why do you want to anchor them to the wall?

Why do you want to anchor them to the wall?

Because I have an irrational fear of them falling over and my floor in the den is carpet on slate/cement so not leveled the best

It's tough since they're glass. You might get a strap of some sort and then wrap it around the tank and drill that into a stud on the wall.
