Crazy that you have to tie it to the wall like that.

I have a 150 gallon setup and its freestanding in the middle of the room, I use it as a room divider from the kitchen to the living room. I also live about 125 feet from train tracks. When the coral trains pass by you would thing I was in a 5.0 quake.

While it is annoying at times I have grown to love it and love the fact that I am on a 1/4 acre lot in a subdivision and I have no neighbors behind me.

But, the fact stands that I get concerned about the rumbling with a 150 gallon tank on a wood stand. That stand is holding over 1200 lbs and its shaking!!

3 years now no problem. I am going to look into life expectancy for the setup to make sure I am o.k.


Tank looks cool, I am looking forward to seeing what you do fish wise. Good luck, its very therapeutic once it up and running I love sitting and watching the goings on in my tank.
