So im looking to upgrade to a 75 gal. But i live on the second floor and im a little concerned about the floor taking the weight. I figure that the whole thing is going to weight around 900lbs with rocks, sump, stand and other stuff. It is going to sit where my current tank is, which is up against the wall of our apartment. I think this wall continues down to the floor below, but im not 100% on that. Here is a pic where my current tank is:
Also for the lighting i was hoping i could use my current lights. They 75 is only a foot longer and 2 inches wider than the tank i have currently. I was thinking i could either center the light and keep low stuff on those sides, or push it alway over and keep some low light stuff (gorgs, and sponges) on that end.
Im also going to build my stand, and i was thinking of trying to build a sump that would run the length of the stand. so i could include a large algae scrubber and a good sized fuge. I kinda want to a minimalist rock structure in the DT, so that would allow me to put lots of rubble down there for filtration.
