Hey fellow reefers,
Just wondering if someone with a little more experience can chime in and set my mind at ease.
I currently have a 55 gallon with 20 sump needless to say I hate the narrowness and would like to upgrade to a 75. Currently the 55 is in the only place it can go in the house. It sits on a rot iron stand witch I have skinned with wood. I have checked to floor joints and they run parrallale with the pength of the tank Wich is bad I know but as I said only place I can put the tank. I am on the first floor with basement underneath the wall the tank is on is an inside wall with a staircase on other side leading to an upstairs appartment. The tank had been sitting in its spot running for the past 6 months with no problem. The stand it sits on only has four contact spots to the floor. The 75 stand would contact floor the enntire length and width of stand. So safe move switching out to a slightly bigger tank. Thinking there will be an extra 300 lbs.? Thanks
-Owen
