so i have been bitten by the gar bug pretty bad. and seeing as i jump into things with both feet and rocks in my pockets, i am already planning my LARGE tank build.
the issue i am concerned with is that i am renting a house that has a pier and beam foundation. its an older home too. the landlord doesnt care what it do but i also dont want a big tank crashing through the floor. i am thinking a tank around 200-250 gal. like around 5'x3'x2' or similar. that will be over 2k lbs would it be more beneficial to do a wider tank like 5'x4'x2'? my thinking is the more area displaced the better? not to mention good for the fish.
what say you?
thanks
