floor worries

Hi Larry Thanks for your imput . Maybe instead of just 1x6's I will get a
piece of 3/4 ply for under the entire tank. and just finish the front and
sides with the 1x6'S. Unfortunatly it is being put in the center of the 14'
trailer against a wall but it doesnt have the same support it would have if
it was put against an outside wall. This is turning out to be some kind of a
project and there is going to be much more expensive than I thought it was
going to be . It cost me 70 dollars for the substraight today and 75.00
for the filter and I got a suspicion its gonna go alot more before this
project if finished . Oh well and they say a boat is nothing but a hole
in the water you keep throwing your money into. LOL . Thanks again Maybe
we will talk again soon . Will let you know how all this ends up LOL Bye
Ron

Looking at your e-mail address I cant figure out where you are . I am
located in Northwestern Vermont

Hi all . I am living in a large mobile home not motor home but
mobile
home and am in the process of setting up a 55 gal tank. Ive been giving
it
some thought and I am a bit worried about the weight.

If it's a fairly modern double or triple wide there should be no problem
as long as you have it against a wall and not in the middle of the room.

It's also a good idea to spread the weight. Put it on a bookcase or, if
you have a 4 legged stand, put a sheet of 3/4" plywood (tastefully
painted, of course) under it.

I live in a double wide and while my tank isn't that big, I have floor
to ceiling bookcases that weigh as much or more than your tank :-).
