I have about 60 of them, used, 20 per tank

Hey! Count me in too. I would like at least one, "the boss" will have to step in on the upper limit. :D

Ok, I talked to the boss, we are looking at between 5 and 10 if you are interested in selling that many, but would like to know the dimensions of the tanks before I can give a final number.

FYI, The comment above from the Guest, is me. I must have logged out and forgot to log back in before making the next post.

At any rate, presuming that the footprint for the tanks is 36x18, I think I can swing 10. This will really jump start my efforts to start breeding. B)

[JustRon]

they are 36 x 18

Great deal on the tanks, much appreciated. Right now they are all stack up next to the trailer, I must say, they tank up alot more room in real life than they do on paper :o

For the neighbors' sake, I will be building some racks to put them in a spare room. Thanks again!

Your tanks are multiplying as quickly as your fish.
Your gaining on me.
I ordered a new tank on Saturday.

:mellow: You're putting all those tanks in a trailer?! Mobile homes are sturdier than I thought.

Well.....an inch of water in each one is enough isn't it? :unsure:

I suppose I must confess that not ALL of the tanks will be in production for now.

I am planning for 4 or 5, and currently calculating the safe limit for the "home". Unfortunately my mobile home is only designed for a 20lb psf live load, easily half that of normal residential construction. Luckily, this is based on a 2x8 joist, 24" apart running 16'.

All I have to do is determine where to add additional support under the floor to effectively reduce the span.

Another good thing is that I can span the weight across four joists, which reduces the total load carried by each joist. Ok, Ok, I am starting to get into mumbo jumbo here, so suffice to say that I have some engineering to do. :)
