Placement Of Tank?

[Nano]

Yeah I get that but my main concern is the amount of traffic right there like its squeaky place in the floor so it just makes me nervous the corner doesnt squeak so thats why I feel its better there lol.

Also the thing I like about the corner is I can get behind it from underneath the stand if I had to fix a bulkhead or something where as I have to drain the tank and slide it on the new floors to do that now.

Yup, that makes sense, too.

Ok well ive moved it into the corner and am in the process of filling. Seems to be a lot less movement even with the weight of the 2 couches so thats good plus we spend a lot of time sitting in there after 10-12hr days so this may just be better. We'll see.


Edit. Tank is full but it seems a little softer in this spot.. sigh draining again. Back it goes.

You shouldn't have any problems with the weight of the tank. The 60g only weighs in at 600 pounds.

Based on the photos, I like having the tank in the corner. That being said, it makes it difficult as a conversation piece especially when others are sitting on the sofas.

Good luck!

I'm not a structural engineer so I can't really way what's right or wrong, but in the end you kinda just have to do what you're most comfortable with regardless of what we say. You're the one that's going to lose sleep at night not us Do what you feel is right.

Also having it that close to the window may cause it to cool down quicker causing your heater to come on more often.

Other than that. The corner is probably better since the weight will be distributed to 2 supporting walls below
