Upstairs Tanks?
Just wondering what sized tanks you guys and gals have upstairs in your house without any additional support?
I have a 77g up here and I get pretty nervous when others come in my room to look at my tank. Am I just worried for nothing?. The house is about 5 years old. |

Your floor is fine. Depending on where you have the tank in your room, it may be a bit bouncy (technical term).
Here's probably a little more information than you would like......... http://www.awc.org/technical/spantables/tutorial.htm Mitch |

Excellent thanks for the read Mitch. It was the bounciness (Bob? ) that scared me a bit.
Still curious as to what other large tanks are sit'n upstairs :shock: . |

I have a 90g on my main floor(on a 3 level house)
It's actually in the middle of the main floor but there is the telepost close by. My tank spand with the beams (parralel) which was quite bouncy. I never worried about it too much but I did screw my stand into the wall with some ties from HD and I also made an I beam to go in the basement under the main joist that the tank sits on to ellimiate the bounce Kinda like a 2nd post in the basement.
