Weight questions

[JJ Ligs]

I wanted to ask opinions on this... I want this tank but I am worried about weight. I live on the first floor of an apartment. It is a 90 gallon center over flow with starfire glass and custom cabinet. The stand is sturdy as hell and the tank is gorgeous. Just need to get the dead coralline off the back. What do you guys think will I be okay weight wise? I normally do not ask for 2 cents but this time it is welcomed

8lbs per gallon for water.. that's about 720. Plus the weight of the gear.. Easily over 1k

Ground level I assume cement floor then I dont see any issue at all.

not ground level. Technically first floor. If it was basement I wouldn’t worry.

If you place it against an exterior wall it'll have plenty of support. The stand itself will definitely support the weight if it's in good condition and on a flat and level surface.

The stand is really nice a solid it is 4x4 construction and actual wood not MDF or any of that other pressed wood they make it out of

Press board is strong enough to support the weight on it's edge. What it lacks is resistance to water damage. That they would choose it to support a heavy tank of moving and splashing water confuses me. I think what you have will last a long time if it's painted or sealed.

Well then the answer to the question unfortunately is where is the tank to be located and what is the structure composition of the floor itself. There is no easy answer without knowing the specifics.
