75 Gallon Upstairs?

[Astus]

Hey I was wondering If you guys think I would be safe putting a 75 gallon upstairs along an outside wall even though it will be parallel to the floor joists and not perpendicular? If I set it perpendicular to the joists it is just sticking out into the living room and the other walls both have large windows that I cannot block. If I did more say 125+ I would make sure to put it perpendicular but 75 gallon seems like a lot less than other tanks.


Edit: Mods - I'm not sure exactly where to put this thread so if it's in the wrong place feel free to move it as you see fit.

I don't think it would be a problem.

I worried about this too when i was upgrading to a 75 in my upstairs apartment. If it makes you feel any better i have been fine so far for the last 7 months with my 75 on the outside wall and i wouldn't consider this apartment built the best. Like people have told me, usually you dont need to worry when the tank is under 100 gal.

The average waterbed has about 150 gallons of water, if that makes you feel better.

I'm sure it'll be fine~

I have a 120g on a second floor apt with uneven wood floors. I've been alright for 6months. Then I had a thick glass 80g tank with a 20g sump on the outside wall for over a year before the 120g.


75g will be fine! All you may have to do is relevel it once the floor settles.
