Tony, Extremely helpful. Thank you. This is actually an older home that is built like a rock, at least compared to newer homes and it would not be the third level, but the point remains that ultimately it sounds like if I want to put this anywhere other than on one of our two foundation...

Thanks to all for the helpful comments. I do not have the tank yet. I think it would be a mistake to spend this kind of money on a tank before I have the proper support. My hope, and goal, is to not break the bank in providing the requisite support. It sounds like some think that is...

Thanks. I'll obviously talk with a contractor. However, what I am hoping is that someone here has the knowledge or expertise to answer two narrow questions: 1. Am I correct that using 2 or 3 lolly columns will be more than enough to support 6000 lbs in an 8 x 3 tank on the floor above? 2...

Am I misunderstanding something? Each lolly alone supports 10,000 to 20,000 pounds and I would put 2 to 3 evenly spaced in the wall. I will certainly be using a contractor to do the work, but I would like to have a sense of what is involved. I realize the wall I am referring to in this thread...

Thanks. The goal here is to not post pictures or describe specifics because I have a wall separating two rooms that I can use to ideally put in place some vertical support that will more than compensate for the weight of the tank. cabinetmkr39, I know literally nothing about this subject...

Assume worst case scenario (e.g. long beams running parallel with tank), what could I do to easily support a tank of that size on the main level? In the basement directly below the tank there is a thin wall that separates a bathroom and a guest room. Could I put a number of vertical posts in...

I am interested in 1M:3F Lamprologus ocellatus. Thanks.

Thanks Arlene. I will look into them. If anyone has other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

approx. 8' x 3' x 30" I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for local, well-established, businesses with showrooms where I can see the products firsthand.

I am contemplating purchasing a large fish tank, probably around 8' x 3' x 30" I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for local, well-established, businesses with showrooms where I can see the products firsthand that produce such tanks on a regular basis. Thanks!

Interested in purchasing approximately 8 demasoni.

trying again.

Anyone?

Looking for a few adult gold Lamprologus Ocellatus, ideally 3F and 1M.

Thanks. I should clarify, I have 2 15G quarantine tanks in one room, 2 33G tanks in a second room, and 1 100G tank in a third room, so I would want something not too expensive that I would buy three of, one for each room.

What's the best (most reliable and most effective) battery operated air pump available? If the best is incredibly expensive and there is one that is just about as good, but far less expensive then I'd prefer that. Noise would be a tie breaker since I'm only planning on using these in...

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually found a RD pair that supposedly have behaved well together for a long time and hopefully will continue to do so. They are now in my 95G bowfront. Today I finally located and bought a half dozen pictus catfish. The problem is that the catfish are...

I miss Scales tremendously. The other stores are all fine, but personally Scales was in a league of its own.

I have a piece of driftwood attached to a piece of slate, but that slate piece is not heavy enough to keep the driftwood from floating. I don't have another piece of slate handy, but I do have some ceramic tiles leftover from a prior project as well as some aquarium-safe silicone. can i glue...

Sorry. All sold.
