Default Tank

If anybody has a 60 gallon aquarium out there I would like to buy. The closer the better. I just put a crack in mine, and am a little scared of getting my feet wet. Also tell me the measurements and how much you would want for it.

I could even go up to a 77 gallon, I am not picky now.

If I were you, I'd be getting your stuff out of that tank pronto...into some rubbermaids with some powerheads and heaters, etc. I can't imagine going to sleep with a cracked tank........

Hope things hold.

I just realized that I may be able to put my 115 gallon tank. The only problem with this is that I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor. The floor does not creak with a 60 gallon tank right now, but do I dare take the chance of putting 1400 lbs on the floor, plus the weight of the rock and the stand and canopy.
Dilemma, dilemma

Why can't I set it up too fast?
All I do is dump all my sand in then my rock, and then my water from the old tank, slowly putting in new water to not cause too much of a shock. right?? Last step would be to add all the livestock
could be done in a 36 hour period?

If you have 36 hrs....

I was thinking about levelling, the weight you mentioned etc.

I can put most of the stuff into buckets for the inbetween time. I am just a little stressed right now, and all I need is an opinion on whether you think the floor could handle the weight.

I have no idea. Sorry. What if you filled it only halfway?
