100G on second floor?

[DeMarcusR]

Is it advisable to have a 100g fully loaded aquarium on the second floor of an apartment? I've got a 75 right now but i'm on the first floor.. the apartment i'm going to i'll be on the second floor.

That would be a question for the apartment complex.
I had a fully loaded 55 on a 2nd story, but that to me was still unnerving.

I had a 100gal. on a 2nd floor. The apartments were brand new.

You are looking at 1000 lbs in one spot. What you need to know is if the spot you've chosen is supported adequately. A wall on the perimeter of the apartment building would be stronger, assuming the floor joists were running the correct direction.

Asking the apartment complex if you can put a 100g tank in your apartment may cause some issues. They don't like aquariums because they worry about leaks and flooding for the ceiling below.

also is the floor wood or Pre-stressed concrete... if it the concrete you got no problems if not....well... Also consider would it support a waterbed???
