So my wife and I are moving into a third floor downtown apartment. I have a 20 gallon long that crashed several weeks ago, and I want to set it up again. Should I be concerned about the weight of the tank on the floor? It's a pretty old building, but I don't know how old. I have the fish and coral that survived in a 10 QT that I can turn into the display if need be.

20 gallons is nothing to worry about...add far as weight goes...everything odd probably under 200#

Ya as stated 20 gallons is nothing. Honestly you really don't need to worry until you start getting into much bigger tanks.
