I forgot to add.. If you live in CALI like I do, then I would start preparing right now.. Scientists have predicted a HUGGGEEEEE earthquake that will NOT last for 30 sec, but for 3-5 Minutes!!!! Imagine a 8.0 thats doeskin stop for 5 min.. The caos, the power, everything is go bad!!

This is what I have personally done, call me crazy..

I have a 5000wat generator
gallons and gallons of bottled water
Army rations that last up for 5 years
3 gas masks which are rated for mustard gas
going to invest in a firearm


In a time of desastor, people go crazy.. And if I were you.. I would invest RIGHT NOW!! trust me.

You could get some land mines too, but the earthquake might set them off.

yea i was actually thinking going solar. generator sumtimes need gass and if i had solar, the sun will be available every day.
and i think for cali members r tanks dont drop past 70 on average. i think they may be good for a day or 2
 
ok in all seriousness

strappin and bolting wont do crap during an equak.

a good jold and your glass will crack you need to add some spring.

best idea is to build your stand on spring bars and bolt your stand to that.

must use SUPER heavy duty springs.

then make sure you have enough of a lip your tank wont slide off front or back.
 
i mean i would like my fish as well but i just dont want an extra 300gals to walk on im my own house durring a disaster in hopes thats we dont get leveled out but a good amount of stuff just shakes violently.

on the other hand dose anyone know what the magnitute of an earthquake is thas able to move a 100gal 800 pounds (i think)?...anything less proably isnt sumthing to worrie about. but we can use the 100 gal as a base unit to how much reinforement we need since a majority of us have big tanks

at 8.0 your house would probably collapse. 8.0 is 10 times stronger than a 7.0.. strap or no straps your tank is coming down.
probally with your house to........no no no not going to happen cause i live in the bay area:irked:
