    I'm in the process of setting up a 47 gallon cube tank i built a tower out of egg crate and put a coat on concrete over it then i put chunks of live rock over it so it looks like a tower of live rock well i went to pick it up and oh boy i would say its 85-90 pounds will a fish tank bottom hold that ? thanks so much

    You could cut egg crate to a little smaller than the inside dimmensions to spread the load out. I would think that would be just fine. At a lot of LFS's I've seen tanks completely full of live rock for selling, so 75% of the tank was live rock. It had to be a much higher lbs of live rock to tank size ratio than you've got.
