Weight of a tank and how not to flood your neighbor
Hey Patrick,
Another good idea would to place the tank across the joists,rather than parallel to them.
I have a 150g crossing the joists,but have also placed 2x4 runners underneath the legs to increase the footprint,as Darren spoke of.
To also help avoid spills you could invest in an in-sump skimmer,drill or obtain a drilled tank vs siphon overflows,if only for peace of mind [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img].
Good luck with it,Marc.
