Hi everyone,

I've been out of the hobby for a couple of years now and I'm setting
up a 200 gallon tank.........
==============
Sorry I can't help with the live rock but am interested in the weight of
your 200g tank. Do you have it on a basement floor or have you reinforced
the regular flooring?

ups.com... Hi everyone,
Well, I neer really thought about that, to tell you the truth. Thats
because the tank is in a hospital, so I imagine they have extra beefy
flooring. I would estimate a 230 gallon tank to weigh in at about
2000 lbs or so, with some sand and rock in there. Keep in mind the
tank is 8 feet long, so if it were oriented perpendicular to the floor
joists, that would reduce the load on each individual joist
significantly.

Tristin--thanks for the offer to list that special deal on rock. I'd
certainly be interested!

try anyone of these site for LR purchases. Don't trust the troll you'll find
out he's just an Asshole. Just read any of his replies or posting for that
matter to see what he really is.

=======================
Oh, because we did add an extra support under the floor for our two 55g
tanks. They cross the joists so the load is spread out along the one wall.
The heavy crossbeam is what we supported. No sagging so far.

Hmmmm....and care to tell the reef group what these 55 gall tanks
contain?....IIRC Platys and/or fancy goldfish.....do you have any
experience of the additional weight load put into a tank by the addition
of live rock?????......generally it is around 1lb per gall......woops,
should have let you find that one out for yourself.....

That's irrelevant to how much weight a floor can take without extra
supports.

With or without live rock, it's still true. Stop
