Buying first LARGE tank for 2nd floor apartment would a 150-gallon be safe?

Agreed!!! There are alot of variables before one can say that something is 100% safe!fwiffo;1824719; said:
I would prefer to do it in an apartment over doing it in my own house. Of course, it probably won't splinter the joists and go crashing through the floor when you set it up, but it will very likely make a low spot in the floor, or worse, if left there long enough. Make sure you get renter's insurance.
Hey guys long time since the last update to this project...
Ordered the tank, stand, versa-top almost 3 1/2 weeks ago...
Tank (150G long) came in perfect on 1st week, same for the versa-top.
The stand, a Classic Mission Series black came in a shaky with lots of loose bolts and dents... So had to wait another week for a 2nd stand order.
2nd week I'm ready to get to work on this tank, (gave up 7000 gallon koi pond) after moving from parents home, and moving out (best thing I ever did).
The stand came in SMASHED!, 3rd time in a row! Finally on the 4th week it came in fine..
Aprox-4 weeks later, tank is up and running! Took me almost a week with the help of friends to get this tank level up against a wall its filled and running.
Here is a quick picture right after setup, no fish, still cycling, no gravel, have it filtered heavy, going to try and raise 3-koi in it, with massive water changes.
Will update very soon with pics and filter specs.. Thanks for reading....
