BubbleHead January 8, 2013 January 8, 2013 What is largest size tank that can safely be place on second floor of a house, so wood joist. I currently have a 60 Hexigon (small footprint). Not a fan of this tank, want to change it out for a 120 4' tank.
smallreef January 8, 2013 January 8, 2013 I had a 150g on an exterior wall... Is this on an interior wall that goes down to the first floor, in the middle of a room, or against an outside wall?;
BubbleHead January 9, 2013 Author January 9, 2013 It will be an exterior wall. I decided i want to sleep with the fishes so it's going in the bedroom.
davelin315 January 9, 2013 January 9, 2013 Totally dependent on the construction of your home. There are some shoddy construction jobs where the floor flexes just by walking on it that would suggest you can't have anything of substantial weight on the floor and then some where there is such solid construction that there is zero bend. My first floor has fewer load bearing walls beneath it than my second floor and so the second floor flexes less than the main floor.
Rosco's Reefs January 9, 2013 January 9, 2013 (edited) I found this link some time ago on another site. Maybe it will help. Discusses floor and weight distribution. http://www.african-c...m/Structure.htm Edited January 9, 2013 by Rosco's Reefs
