Who has a 100+ gallon tank in a apartment?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I can see that from a cost savings stand point.

Just not what i've encountered when traveling around Europe in the past.
 
I got a 200G sitting in my apartment... the building has 20 floors...
 
Have you talked to your apartment? They should be able to tell you if the floors can handle it. Also, I hope you got their permission first. You could get in a lot of trouble otherwise. At least in any apartments I've been in they don't allow anything over 15-20gals if they let you have one at all. I hated renting.
 
There is nothing in my lease prohibiting it.
Hello; I fear that tactic will not get you far. Even if there is no language saying such a tank is prohibited you will still be liable for damages. I still strongly suggest a talk with the manager or owner.

This is a case where asking permission is far better than asking forgiveness. I get that the answer may be no but when you appear before a judge if things go south that will be a point in your favor.

If you decide to try and slide by without asking at the very least get renters insurance. Be sure to mention the large aquarium and have it included in the coverage. That way when structural damage or flood damage happens you will only be out of pocket for the deductible.

I'll ask and my insurance is good. I have 100k liability and 5k personal.
