snowpunk Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Man, that is a deal for sure... If I wasn't broke I would be moving my tv right now to put it up... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny503 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Does anyone here know how much weight for this setup with complete fill with LR, LS, and saltwater? I am in process of moving to GP, so is not like I am going to buy it. But I would love to know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would think about 1700lb or so with all water, rock, sand, sump, ballasts, and other basic equipment... just a ballpark guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SULLY Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Unfortunately I know it's going to be alot more than that. Here is a ballpark. 180 GALLON Tank, stand, canopy, lighting, and all the stuff under the stand. 500lbs 180 Gallons of saltwater (approx. 8.6#'s per gallon). 1548lbs Maybe another 50 gallons between sump, skimmer, and etc. 430lbs Live rock you will probably have between 175-200lbs Live sand I'm guessing approx. 200lbs Then you have your animals in the tank ? lbs It adds up alot quicker than you would think. Definate canidate for the bottom floor(scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 dont forget that the rock sand and livestock actual takes up space inside the tank, so it wouldn't be 180 gallons in the tank. so you could probably knock a couple hundred pounds off the weight.

Definate canidate for the bottom floor(scary) bah, you think thats bad. I had nearly 400 gallons on my second story. LOL However, I checked prior on what would support it below and had walls and a closet, so it was every bit as strong as it would of been on a first floor. Had me sleepless for quite a few nights, but after a yr that way with no probs. If I ever find a used tank about the same size, I'm putting it there again.
