  1. I have a used Two Little Fishies 550 reactor that I would like to trade for the 150 model or other similar sized reactor. If you have a small one and need a 550 instead hit me up. Thank you.

  2. If you can look up in the attic and see roof braces coming down over the top of the wall you want to install it next to then that is a load bearing wall. The foundation under that wall will be constructed to hold a very large load. Sorry if you knew that already.

  3. Nice looking clowns there. They will continue to darken up as they mature. The gray is probably orange transitioning to black. Rob (MrCobb) is a local clownfish breeder and can certainly give you more info on the breeder's grading systems. It is mostly French to me. Lol. You should shoot him a PM. He is always extremely helpful.

  4. It looks to me to be a newer modular home

    I was hoping you would see this post jestep, 57l x 30w x 30t

    What's the tank dimensions?

    I believe if it's a normal rectangle shape and the stand isn't just 4 posts, the weight distribution is similar as a lower volume tank with a proportional footprint.

    In that case so long as you can put the tank along a load bearing wall the foundation under that wall will be strong enough to support the additional weight.
  5. No biggie Robb. :-)

    There are quite a few foundation companies in town that specialize in pier and beam leveling. There are quite a few homes in Austin that were built on pier and beam foundations. That was pretty much the norm before the 60's when builders started going with primarily concrete slab foundations.

  6. I have been under a lot of older pier and beam homes. You would be shocked to see the conditions of some of them and what has been used to make an attempt at leveling. Most foundation repair companies will provide free inspections. That's what I would do.

    I'm just trying to help.

  7. If it is an old house you definitely do not want to make the assumption that the foundation is sound to begin with. I would call a foundation repair company and ask for an inspection prior to setting your big tank up.
