I think a 40 gallon would work perfectly fine without any issues. You’re looking at about 450ish lbs. The way I look at it is many people weigh about 200lbs, plus the weight of a sofa is probably 80-100lbs. So two people on a couch is about 500lbs (granted weight distribution is different and can be a factor).
What would you say about a Red Sea 250? 65 gallon tank overall with a 54 gal display tank. 35.4 inches long. 20.8 high and 19.6 inches high. I understand you guys haven’t seen the property so I’m not trying to rub you like a genie lol but I did wanna ask about that model.
I love the couch analogy but as the tank gets bigger don’t you have to go away from that a little more? For example maybe my couch can hold 1200 pounds worth of people but can it hold that 24/7 365 days a year? That’s what makes me wonder esp since the Red Sea 250 is more of a tall tank rather than long.
