I'm checking options of where to place a 55 gallon tank and solid oak stand and was looking for some advice.
I've read that a tank should be placed so that it is against a weight bearing wall, with the floor joists running perpendicular to the tank. Is that correct?
In my home, all the preferred spots for the tank would have the tank sitting parallel with the floor joists, not perpendicular. Will setting up the tank with that orientation to the floor supports damage my home?
