I know keepers on this site have huge tanks. But I want to see who has the biggest tank in an apartment. I guess any small space will do. Im guessing people in apartments have more challenges. Did you have to bring the tank up flights of stairs? How did you get it in? (thats what she said) Do you have to hide it from your landlords?
I have a 18
0gal in a room 11' long x 9' deep. My tank measures 60"x30"x24". I run a 24/7 water changing system from my garden hose attachment outside the fish room. I ran 3 lines through the wall to the RO/DI unit mounted under the tank. One line brings water in the unit. The second line is the exhaust water from the unit. The third line is the line out from my sump.
When i ordered the tank i went with a standard 24" height. I never thought about how to fit it in my apartment. It barely fit through the door way by a few inches. I was considering doing a 30" height, boy would that have been ****ty.
I had to make my stand in two pieces at my shop, and than each piece could fit through the door. I attached them with 10 lag bolts. Not ideal by any means but i figure i put way more wood and supports into the frame.
Their is also no fish tanks allowed in my apartments. I have become buddies with the on-site apartment manager. He has seen my tanks but doesnt want to talk about them. He would rather not know. But if the company he works for wants to do an inspection....Im screwed. Even with no tanks allowed I currently have 5 tanks active right now with many more in storage.
So lets see how dedicated you other apartment monster tank owners are?
