I want to use this to hold quarantine aquariums in my "fish" closet. Can you leave out the bottom two shelf's to fit a bucket underneath?

yes, the shelf positions are adjustable...you select the position, or you can leave them off. FYI, for stability you may want to put on the metal frame part of the shelf, but leave off the wooden board part of the shelf,if your bucket will fit that way

I returned the Gorilla Rack because it was too flimsy. I don't believe you can remove the bottom two shelves without substantially degrading stability. If the aquariums are heavy I'm afraid it will not hold the weight.

the very bottom shelf no, but the 2 above that one yes. I'd leave at least 3 shelves to support the farme.

All the shelves just lay on top of the rectangular frames so it's possible to remove them (or adjust their height). You can also use them as lower sets of shelving as shown is figure #2. Just be careful though since the shelving may be top heavy if only the upper shelves are used, especially when storing heavy items.

I own several large salt water aquariums. I would not remove the bottom two shelves. It would hinder the strength of the entire unit.As the shelves are particle board I would also watch the water! Hope that helps.

The shelves help stabilize the rack. I wouldn't risk ii, especially if you are placing heavy items on the top shelf.

I would not put a fish tank on top. It is quite suitable for my needs of holding wine, glasses, and some lightweight decorative objects. I do get nervous when my 1 year old granddaughter comes to visit. I think she could easily tip it over if left unattended. I am not even sure the depth of the shelf would be sufficient for a fish tank.

I don't think so, unless the 10 gallon tank is not very tall. I had a 10.5" tall 3 gallon tank in the middle and it was a tight squeeze . Either way the shelf probably won't hold that much weight ( I moved mine else where because the stand kept making really strange creaking noises all the time )

I did get two of these to stack. I can't explain it exactly, but I pried off the inserts at the top of the 4 poles of the bottom unit.Then, one at a time, I put each pole of the second shelf on top of the one from the bottom unit, and then put the small connectingpart around both poles. The result is a very small shelf right at the spot of connection, but the shelves above it can bespaced as needed. I don't recommend it for heavy objects at the top, but it is perfect in my bathroom for towels, etc.

The height between the shelves is 15 inches so you could feasibly leave out a shelf when assembling it but you would want to secure it at the bottom somehow because it is wobbly when just hanging

You'd have to make connectors in order to fasten the 3-tier onto the bottom one. But your next problem will be stability; it'd be too high and the shelves don't have any brackets to fasten them to the wall.

Yes, shelves can be left out, but not re-positioned, so you either have to leave them out, or use them. You can't adjust their position.

The shelf rests on (or more accurately fits over) 2 rods that run from left to right and act as spreaders for the legs. So yes, you could leave the shelf off but I would NOT recommend leaving off the rods that support it, as they add stability to the table and keep the legs the correct distance apart. This is a very solid table when assembled as directed, not sure why you would want it without the shelf? It really does not get in the way and gives it a nice, finished look. Hope this helps, we have been very pleased with this well designed table.

Yes, it looks to me like you can leave off the bottom shelf, but the unit may be unstable without it. You would then have approximately a 17 1/2" clearance between the floor and the first shelf.

The top and bottom tiers could possibly be used separately but there are no plastic caps for the legs of the top tier, and the top tier connects to the bottom by small posts protruding from the top of the bottom shelf, so those posts would still be sticking up. The shelves are small and flimsy. I painted mine to make it look better, and am thinking about gluing the top to the bottom shelf because they come apart too easily.

I don't think so because the holes for the pieces.are pre-drilled. You'd end up with a tiny shelf space at the bottom and a huge shelf space at the top.

It would be tight. Maybe standing on end next to each other? I have a large plastic garbage can, two smaller bird seed containers, a mettal bucket and a few other samll items. For sure would hold one, maybe two stacked on top of each other???

Maybe, if you have a plan for securing it. Otherwise, it's there for balance and stability. You might be able to leave the braces on the end of the shelf there for support and remove the small rods that make up the shelf. But it would require some work.

I don't think this is the best type of product for the use you're describing. The top ring isn't a shelf either, it's not practical. So you would only have two shelves, and I don't think taking the bottom two shelves out would make it fit over toilet, you may need to take three out.

There is a 'shelf' that covers about a third near the bottom, but no, there's really no bottom as it is meant to be put on the top of a 10 gallon aquarium -- which works great for my two gerbils. They're flying up and down the ramp all day to take full advantage of the extra space.

yes, the shelf collapses and you can just use the lower one. It is very light weight and very practical. I got an elastic cord to hold the small collapsed shelf in place. when I don't use it. Hope this helps you.

You could easily use baskets on the bottom shelf, but I would make sure that they are not rough on the bottom, as they may scratch the shelf.
