2nd floor apartment and aquarium

[ozzeran]

What are rodi units? Water changes shouldn't matter as long as there is a way to hook up a hose to the sink faucet

[ozzeran]

90g x 8lbs/gal = 720+100lbs stand and what not... round it up to 900lbs

900lbs x 6sq ft (18x48) = 150lbs/sq ft. Shouldnt be a problem.

Nice!

Who are you and what have you done with our lincolnboy?

Same guy, he just learned how to google things and use cut & paste.

II highly recommend not getting any large aquarium in an apartment. When you move - and you will - it'll be one of the biggest pains in the ass you can ever dream of. Add an additional PITA factor for a second floor.

. If you arent planning for over 5 years, just wait until you get a house.

Soon as I read his reply I knew he didn't know shit about an aquarium and he'll be tearing it down within a year.

LOL, I had a 40 gallon aquarium for years with an Oscar.

I then went and tried saltwater, I could not afford it back then.

You don't need fucking Reverse Osmosis for salt water. I know shit about ammonia/nitrates, I know the 3 stages of filtration, along with PH level's and correct temps. I know about water changes and cleaning the bed.

Give me a break. Half the people on this board don't know much about anything. I asked a simple question as I forgot about that ABBREVIATION. The question was about floor supporting a big aquarium, not about if someone can run one.

This fucking board has really gone to shit and it's getting old fast. There isn't one thread that goes by where someone jumps off topic and talks shit.

It's fine on a huge tank as long as your not doing more than 10% or so with no chlorine remover...

I did a 50% water change on a 150g with the water hose and a cup full of chlorine remover and the fish are perfectly fine. They started having babies like crazy...a sign that the water is in good shape.

On topic: Yes, don't do it. 55g is a perfect tank size...

Yep thats a clearshot sign that the water is healthy and full of life. My 150 gallon cichild tank has produced one full tank of fry around 100 convicts, and just last night i noticed the female bred again and there are about another 100 tiny convicts swimming around. Pretty neat to watch fish grow up and change.

[ozzeran]

Yeah that is cool.
