Hey ... I have a basement, a first floor, and a second floor. I want to put my aquarium in an alcove on the second floor. My question is ... has anyone had a problem putting an aquarium on a second story? I'm going w/ a 37G display, a 10 gal sump and up to a 20 gal refugium. I figure the system will weigh about 12lbs per gallon, which will put about 840lbs of force on a 24" x 16" square on the floor. Also at any given time me and my 2 roommates could be standing directly in front of the tank so thats another 600+lbs. Has anyone ever heard of a structural horror story?
