    x1 75

    All of these tanks would be on the same rack along one wall. Would weight be an issue?
    Any help would be great.

    Jeff, my fishroom is on the second floor apt complex. I have 1 65 gallon, 75 gallon, 96 gallon aging trash bin, and two 29 gallons running in a room 10.1' by 11.7'. For me I end up spreading out the weight throughout the room. Keeping the tanks close to the outside wall.

    Here's my tread on what I have setup. Link

    Ok! I lightened the load a bit and I decided to set up in a "U" shape so most of the weight runs perpendicular to the joists!

    New set up:

    Rack 1: 2 29's 1 33

    Rack 2: 2 29'2 1 33

    Rack 3: 1 75 1 55

    And then on another wall there will be 4 20 XH and 2 20 longs.

    I think you will be just fine. I have had 6 75gal tanks in a U on a 3rd floor without issues at my old town home.
