anyone have huge tanks on the second floor?

your tank should be fine on the 2nd floor, im sure they used solid wood construction atleast true 2x10 joist, more than likey 2x12s old stuff was built stronger. if you jump on the second floor does the floor move or is it solid? if your worried place the tank over a wall on the 1st floor. if anything call an engineer or architect from your area, they should know what the building codes were 12yrs ago
You're welcome. This type of question comes up every few months or so and IMHO it really isn't something you should guess about. Would cost too much $$ on some speculation that failed.vaderbanger said:thanks for the link
id rather be safe than sorry

"have you ever heard of this happening?"
hehe... every time i hear one of these questions i think of that scene in "The Money Pit." with the 'relocated' bathtub. funny stuff. another reason to avoid the word of a contractor (just kidding you guys).

were having the basement refinished with a wetbar put in, so the python will hook up right there
we're putting a 135 on the 1st floor (above the full basement) and we were advised to reinforce the floor with beams in the basement... so a 220! I wouldnt go there without doing something to the floor first
Well, hell, that sounds perfect to me! Put it behind the bar, you know, where the big mirror would normally go.vaderbanger said:were having the basement refinished with a wetbar put in, so the python will hook up right there

Best Invention EVER!
just to be a PITA- Its JOIST. Definitely get a structural engineer for an opinion. There are alot of considerations including, space between Joists and the span of the joist (from one wall to the other) Basement sounds like the best idea...
