I am getting a 22 gallon enclosure to make into a paludarium, and I was thinking of putting it on this table… the tank itself weighs 15lbs the dirt will weigh ~15lbs, rocks + water I’m assuming with will add more than 10lbs which puts me over the 40lb limit.. it’s the only one I can find that fits both the tank and the space..

Are you saying the table has a 40lb limit? If so, I’d skip it altogether. I’d either look at an aquarium stand or make my own.
A 20 gallon aquarium full of water can weight over 200 pounds – given that a paludarium isn’t completely full it won’t weigh quite that much but still, tanks are really heavy. If you’re buying something new, I would look for a dedicated aquarium stand or build one yourself.
Just build a stand. This clearly isn’t going to be safe.
Trying to calculate this only gives me a headache 😭, the American system makes no sense at all, like why does 1 gallon have to be 8.34 pounds?? In the metric system 1 liter is 1 kilogram, a 40 liter tank weighs 40 kilograms etc.
only the water in the tank would get over that 40lb ….simple physics
