It hasn't leaked been about two hours should be ok to set it up right

Agreed. I had a tank I checked for leaks, looked good all afternoon and evening... Woke up the next morning to water on the table... it can take a but to show up.

Sound like my house. Floor squeaks a lot less now where my 75 is. Just hope it doesn't collapse under pressure. I was skeptical about putting a 75 on it, can't imagine a 180!

I too worry about tank weight etc, but when you think about it, its probably the equivalent of 6-7 people maximum standing on your floor; which I wouldnt bat an eyelid at

I think floor collapse is overrated as a risk.. BUT if you live in an old house that hasn't had any shoring up in several decades I can see the worry,, but when you stop & think about it, you NEVER hear about anybody that had it happen 1st hand.. it's always"I heard about a guy"....makes me skeptical about the supposed danger

I was in lfs the other day and heard the story about the tank going through the floor. First thing I did was post the question here ! Damn be honest im still worried about putting the big tank in the living room.
