thanks again for the input guys..
now for the next one....lol
i have a 230 gallon 7 foot tank that I want to put in another part of my house.
it will be running perpendicular to the 2 x 8 floor joists and pretty much right above the support beam downstairs in the basement (the wall behind the tank is right above the support wall below it)the support beam is 3 - 2 x 8 together.
as well, the support beam has a 2 x 6 wall beneath it from the floor up to the support beam.
i have already had a 180 there with no real problems..and I don't think the extra 50 lbs will make much of a difference
what do u think?
