Hello all,
I'm wondering if you all could give me a little insight from experience. I am looking to upgrade my tank size because my fish are out-growing their home. I have a 20 gal. long and am looking to upgrade to a 55 or 75. My main concern is the overall weight of the whole setup.
The 55 gal. would weigh almost 650 lbs. and the 75 gal. would weigh almost 900 lbs., my house is not on a slab foundation so I am wondering if I need to add any extra support to the floor boards?
I would really hate to fill up the tank and come home one day to find out that my fish are on the floor and I have 55 to 75 gallons of water on the floor.
