Two questions...

In Memoriam
1. I previously had a 120 gallon tank with no sump setup in my condo. ***Condo is upstairs built in the early 80's*** Everything was fine. I plan on getting a 180 gallon but at the same time use a 50 gallon as a sump. Does anyone know wether or not I'm pushing it as far as being an upstairs unit? A friend told me I should be fine as long as the beams run vertical rather than parallel? Even if it did does it still have the strength to withstand the weight?

2. Does anyone have any frags of the following they want to trade sunset monty, true undata, Mini Balanaphyllia, Superman monty, rainbow monty, watermelon chalice...

Polyps I'm looking for Purple death palythoa, Nuclear green palythoa, True armageddons, True PPE's hmmm my brain hurts of thinking to hard... Atl pink skirts, Mohawk paly, Aspens, any rare palys.


Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone on friday.

That is alot fo weigh for upstair floor, you should atleast find the weigh baring wall and put your tank along that wall since it has the most support, but I still think 180 plus 50 is too much for upstair, unless you can find a section where you know for sure that their is a wall running right below the tank's flooring.

I do have those corals that you mentioned, but they are not ready to be fragged yet except maybe the true undata, I can maybe cut a 1/2 inch piece. I already got some deal cooking on the purple death and nuke green, so I like to trade for the true purple people eater, how many pollups are you talking about? ... pm me and we can work something out.
 
I second the too much weight for a second floor unless you are backed up to a load bearing wall that has some good support. you are talking about a little over a ton in a mater of 6 ft. I think at least a consult from someone that actually knows what there talking about wouldn't be a bad idea if you are serious about it.
