Used Tank

[12 Volt Man]

. -i've post about my 220g sagging and all that, take look if you can find it, is "will my 220g crash or bent my house" something like that, of course is not going to collapse, but for sure will sag, i put 2 x 4 under my living room,

I think that is the issue though. yes, it probably will not collapse. but it may sag.

if your floor sags under the weight of your tank, either the tank is too big (heavy) for the floor or the floor needed to be reinforced even more.

sagging floors are not good.

that's why i said please go to home deopot, and see one of their everyday use fridge, such as for example: your fridge, my fridge, his fridge, and her fridge. and see they say "capacity 2200 LBS" "fridge capacity 3000 LBS" as i said, i only say things that i am 100% sure. if i don't know sh*t and say hey a fridge can weight up to 500000 pounds, and won't crash the house, go ahead and play with your fish tank. no one would believe. is common sense.

of course, sag floor, will bend the tank, therefore cause leakage. and if you guys think 125 going to sag the house, by all means put something under....what i've to him is all the stock i order, and then selling it to others many has asked if house going to callpse i said no, and i set up for them, at end nothing happens...if something do, i'd have few raging costumers smashing my fish store's window by now.

If you really think you going to put 3000 pounds of food in a refrigerator your fooling yourself. When I said 200 to 400 pounds I was talking about when its full not empty.

I tend to agree. the only way you are going to make a normal fridge weigh 3000 pounds is if you fill it up with cement.

I think you would still be shy!

i don't fill the fridge, i also don't understand that i've said home deopt 3 times from previous post to this post, it is what they said. so home depot must be fooling themself, and also try to fool everyone else.

Maybe there just saying thats how much weight it can hold even though in reality this would not be possible. Even in one of those old deep freezers you'd only get a couple hundred pounds of meat in there before it was packed full.

that's not the point here, we talking about floor not how fancy a fridge is, i use fridge as example of it could go up to 3000LBs and people don't make a everyday fridge able to hold 3000 pound with out knowing that if somebody did put 3000 pound can crash the house, therefore they must have thought as in common sense, "if we were to make all fridge at average of 2200 pound then we must be sure that the house is able to support it" i feel like a child arguing this useless "thing"....
