Good morning from St. Louis!
Since I am fairly young to the saltwater community, my knowledge about the hobby is starting to grow. I started with a freshwater tank back when I lived with my parents, (Keep in mind I'm still in my early 20's) and now I wanted to get into the saltwater community.
I am about a year or so before I do get another tank but I am in the process for looking for a house. Is there any tips or tricks I should look for when buying a house to support a good sizable tank?
Thank you and I'm glad I have found a great forum to start learning about saltwater!
Just a little about myself.
I have another expensive hobby which I absolutely love which is racing. I've been racing for 4 years now with the SCCA. I attached a picture of my previous race car. I autocross and road course a lot. I have been to nationals and won my first national trophy placing 7th out of 30 or so cars in my class.
Have a great day!

As far as what to look for in a house, just make sure it has solid base-floors where you want to place the tank. Be careful about basement underneath the main floor but I think most housing support structures can support most aquarium sizes, anything over a 150 or so might require a bit more scrutiny in terms of the flooring. If the flooring moves when you walk on it, even a little, I would stay away from big tanks. I have problems in my second story apartment with this sort of thing so I'm limited to nano tanks.
