I’m moving house and am looking to upgrade to a much larger tank. I want the tank in my bedroom, which is on the second floor. In terms of dimensions, the IM 50G Lagoon is perfect. I calculated the weight to be circa 780lbs (stand, tank, water, sand + rock). I plan to place the tank in a corner of one outside wall and one load interior wall. I am nervous that the tank will be too heavy, particularly with the weight being distributed on (im assuming) 4 legs of the stand.
Will the floor be able to support this weight? If I built a wooden frame to put underneath to distribute weight more evenly, would that be enough?
If not, what is the largest tank the floor could 1. Comfortably hold 2. Probably hold 3. Definitely not hold?
