My 72 gallon bowfront rebuild build. Fresh or Salt?

I was kind of curious! hopefully someone will comment, but I came across a question on the net someone asking how much weight his stand can hold for a 75g aquarium, so it got me thinking about my stand. There are several members using the 72 bowfront, should I make modifications to the stand or should it be good as is?

 

I have a 120 gallon tank on a stand that isn't much more stable than that one. I wouldn't worry about modifications. With that being said, a stand can never be "too sturdy"

 

Will I did most of what I had planned, made something for the MH light to sit on, modified the stand a little. Got the extra rock and sand, but now I can't do nothing with it, cus my landlord thinks it will be to heavy for the floor to support. The joys of renting.

sooo...does this mean you went ahead and filled it anyway??

 

hahaha!! NO I really want to though. If me and my wife could get work we would just go back to our home in Glendale, CA. No such luck so I guess we will stay here in Minnesota, keep our jobs and try to talk the owner in letting me set it up. I think the floor will support it. I am sure the floor would support a group of 4 to 5 people standing there, same thing right?

 

What were the parameters you listed from? Yes, that would be about the same - sure hope your floor could support 4 or 5 people - geez - I was a landlord for a very brief time and we were just thrilled when our renters actually paid their rent!

 

Those parameters are from my 40b that will be going in to my 72 bowfront soon.

 

Never had water in the tank since I bought it, so it was time to give it a leak test, I sure in the heck didn't want to tear down my 40b just to find out the 72 has a leak, so it appears I am good to go to the next step.

 

thats a sharp looking tank, I love bowfronts
