Hey guys, it's been a few years! Here's the situation. My 2, very large 14 year old girls were in an 150 gallon tank. I FINALLY made the cross country move to California but didn't bring the tank. (By the way, they did amazing on the trip). So now they need a new tank.

Now that I don't live out in the middle of no where, I have access to stock tanks. My original plan was (and still is...long term ) to get a 300 gallon pond outside when we get a house. However, for the next 12 months, we are in a 600 sq apt :/. Long story but it's the best we could do.

I know it is too small, but I was thinking I would do a 75 gallon for now because they are long rectangles instead of round. I know all about the rules guys..10 gallons per inch of shell...but I am truly trying my best here.

Do I need to be worried about the weight of the tank? It is a 1st floor apartment. I kinda didn't tell them about the tank because we were on the verge of being homeless :/. Any ideas?

I had my 75 gallon glass tank (the tank itself is very heavy!) in two apartments before, 3rd floor and 5th floor, and everything was ok. I think you would need to know if the floor is concrete, and if it is, my guess is you have nothing to worry about.

That makes me feel more confident for sure, thanks!

I agree, it's nothing to worry about. Congrats on the move!

Thanks steve! We love it here

About time you came back. I think there's a PM in my outbox to you you that's been sitting there for like 2 years LOL.
