I think we all have that fish we can't keep alive. Koles are one of mine. I can keep others that are considered difficult, but yea
Smart thinking. If I could do it all over again, I would have had my husband install tile in our living room when I got my big tank. (He installed tile in the rest of our house.) While it is beautiful in its current location, it just would have fit better in the living room area. I didn't want to put him through the work, and I really wanted to get the tank set up. And now I don't want to tear it all down to move it. You are smart to think this all through first.
Well I had a beautiful 90 reef, but i tore it down, as it wasnt a drilled tank, fish were growing, so they got condensed to the 220. Im re using alot of the inner workings of that tank on this one, so before i even get it upstairs, the flooring is getting replaced. Im not playing this time. Room will be painted, and new flooring, before i even move the tank out of the basement. The flooring weve been putting in the rest of the house is the luxury vinyl plank flooring. The only concern i have is the weight of the tank on it, but that should be fine shouldnt it? id assume better than the carpet the old 90 was on. Flooring will come out, and it will go down directly on plywood subfloor. I despise moving tanks so im not taking any chances.
I definitely can't help answer this question. I live in a one story house in Arizona -- where most houses do not have basements. (I'm jealous of those who have them.) Weight hasn't been an issue for me so far due to the home's concrete base and my tank size. I'm sure there are some others on here with the knowledge and knowhow about weight and home construction properties.
Im not worried about the weight on the floors, i had a 90 there before. Im going to do some research on the flooring itself to see, but id imagine its fine. I have a 75 in the other room on laminate with no damage.
