Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

I live upstairs in a one bedroom, and I have 2x10g, 20g, 29g, 42 hex, 2x55, and my "new" auction 75 is sitting on the floor waiting for everything else to be gathered.
I am taking down the 2x 10 g tanks, and when I can move my TV/speakers/endtables over my last three feet
I'll put the 29 there.
Good luck to the people downstairs, we all have to have a little danger in our lives!

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

well the danger in my apartment lurkes in the management....if they find out i have more than a 20 as it states in the lease i'm toast..... .....but i did get renters insurance just in case i had a leak or something.... ...if they bust me that should make them feel better don't you think?....... :wink:

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

I live in a 2 story town house. On the bottom floor I have a 160 Gallon, 120 Gallon, 44 Gallon, 29 Gallon, 28 Gallon, 20 Gallon, 2-10 Gallons & 2.5 Gallon. Yes management knows!    They come by every once in a while to have a look at all the fish and who's new. Planning to get a 100 gallon in the next few months to combine a few tanks. I don't have any tanks on the first floor because we only go upstairs to sleep. :wink:

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

Fishlady, check with your Renter's Insurance and make sure that you are covered.  I was under the assumption that I was covered and it didn't cover anything that I had in the event of something tragic.  They covered my neighbors dwelling but not mine.  So any carpet or other damage was on my dime and not the insurance company's.  Just an FYI...

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

insurances are usually the biggest ripoffs, pretty much anything you really need is not ever covered, don't get me started

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

All I can say is I have around 700 gallons in different tanks all in one room.
Oh my house is on pier & beam & never had a problem.

2 45's 2 10's a 30, and 3 20's plus a few betta and small sick tanks and a 5.5 in the dining room

I think I got them all...
Frankly...I am in a 1978 doublewide that is being restored...with several soft spots... Thank goodness none of the tanks are on them.  *thinking* I think I got all the tanks.

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

yes hanson...i made sure of coverage in case of tank malfunction.....before i ever bought the policy.....i don't have a problem telling people that i'm paying what i want in the deal..... :wink: .....but thanks for the heads up....it might benefit others on here......

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

When I had my apartment, I had 8-10g tanks and 2-18g tanks in my bathroom, and 2-29g in the living area. When I moved in mangment said its not a problem to have tanks, anything over 150g and I would need renters insurance. But that wasnt even the problem, one day after a maintenance call, they told me that all those tanks in the bathroom plugged into one socket is a fire hazard. With all the water potentially going around... I was like.. " But its a GFIC outlet..."

Re: Tanks and Apartment Dwellers

I need to check with my insurance and make sure I am covered.
