upstairs weight

[astrong]

BTW the way they determine the 50lbs/ft2 value is by stacking weight on a floor until it breaks. Then divide that mass by 10 to be safe and account for irregularities in wood. Or so thats what my carpenter buddy tells me. So by being double the recommended value you are still 20% or critical mass.

if at all possible, i would try and determine were the floor joists are, and span as many as possible.

My 55 g is upstairs. I didn't put it on a wall - and there's a noticable tilt to it. When I get the 215 set up, I'm going to move it. I have 2 300lb friends who both stood in front of it at the same time - and no problems.

I have my 120 cube on the second floor... but my floor is lightweight concrete, I seriously doubt I could put enough weight up here to make the buliding collaps.

that being said, I am keeping the fuge smaller than I want.
