How much weight is safe on a kitchen worktop?
Comments

It will be fine. The weight will be transferred to the floor through the sides of that small cabinet and partly through the side of the sink cabinet. These side panels are incredibly strong in compression in that direction.2

A 25l tank will be no problem, 150 - 200l maybe a different matter. Think what is holding up a fitted oven and how much that weighs in comparison.

The weight should not be a problem but can you find another location for new tank.ripplyuk said:I want to buy a bigger fish tank, which holds 24 litres. Would this be too much for the kitchen worktop long-term? There is a cupboard underneath but then a gap for the tumble dryer, which a small part of the tank would be sitting on.
It being near the window will aid algae to grow and being above the tumble dryer will cause vibration which will stress the fish.Play with the expectation of winning not the fear of failure. S.Clarke0
