    Weight of tank?

    I plan on getting a new 55 gallon sw aquarium with 1.5-2 pounds of live rock in it. I'm not really sure how much that will weigh once i add the water. I just want to be safe but would that amount of weight be safe for the second floor of my house up in my room?

    New Tank!!

    Would a Hydor Koralia Nano Controllable Pump - 100-260 GPH be to much flow for a 14 gallon biocube? I know for a reef tank a good amount is 10-12 times but i cant find a koralia that is made that small.
