Try to use punctuation and not have run-on sentences, it's easier to read. I think it will be ok.

You should be fine if the tank is against a load bearing wall on the second floor. But do whatever you can to avoid leaks, or your mom is going to make you get rid of the tank! Good luck.

Thanks guys I know about my mom and my tank she hate all fish and aquariums. You guys should have seen her when the water went throughout th floor.

if you make things really easy for her (listen to me, I am a mom) she will be ok:

1) Keep your tank looking really good and put all equipment away
2) Earn the money for fish and equipment yourself
3) Be REALLY careful about spills so she isn't always worrying about damage - it can cost thousands of dollars to repair water damage, and if she owns the house, she won't be able to sell it in the future unless that damage is repaired (trust me on this)

Any time you have a tank that size it is important to have a continuous runner along the bottom of the stand so the 1400 lbs is distributed evenly across the floor.

I do it's a marine land system complete set I got it from my grand mother an early Christmas present so that by the time it's done cycling it will be Christmas and that's when I will put the fish in and the spills that happened were equipment failure she new that and is okay and I work for my fish and coral
