I have a 150g sitting on my 2nd floor but I have 10" floor joists in my house... It is code in PA to have at least 10" floor joists.
whats the biggest tank i can put on the second floor???

I have a 100gal in my apt. I live on the 2nd floor. What I did, was built a platform and put the tank on that. Thus spreading the weight across more of the floor joists. I then purchased renter insurance that covers any damge I do, and yes it even includes damgae caused by flooding due to a fish tank. I asked them. It only cost 137 bucks for a whole year, not to bad for a little more piece of mind.
you rent?
just do it
seriously its not that big of a risk if youre smart about it, the renters insurance is a good idea too, and itll cover more than just a leaky tank.

Owning a 1,000 gallon tank SHOULD ALWAYS BE TOP PRIORITY!!
