Finding out if my floor will support a 135 gal

[elting44]

they have this floor jack you can buy from any hardware store, its like 30 bucks, and it holds 10,000 pounds, check it out, all you need is one.

Then I would have a floor jack in the middle of my basement living room?

oh, nm, i didnt know you have a basement living room, why not just put the tank in the basement ?

otherwise, they have a floor jack that looks stainless steel for 40 bucks, it looks like a stripper pole, it would look fantastic with your living room loL

Yeah, I am sure the wife would be on board with that.

Like I said, I feel like it is the better/safer choice to put it in the basement. It will look good regardless.

Now I just have to clean the tank, build the sump, build a stand and canopy, set up the overflows....... one step at a time

But it will be constant dead weight as the architect mentioned earlier. And then you factor in half a dozen of this 200 lb. buddies jostling around checking out the fish besides.

PS. I'm his dad and I'll be helping him carry it down the basement. Better safe than sorry, I'm thinking.

Yeah, the old man is prolly on the right track.

As much as I would like the 135g on the first floor, it is probably better to put it in the basement.

I can already hear you saying "I told you so"
