New Apartment doesn't allow tanks

[londre5000]

I am having to move and my new lease doesn't allow water filled furniture. Have any of you sneaked in a tank? I know someone has. I would hate to lose all the hard work I've put into my tank by having to sell it. I know it's risky? I was thinking of just replacing all the sand, emptying the tank fully, and covering it when moving, past the doorman. Its a reefer 425 so not the smallest.

Yes I have. I just covered the tanks and everything with cloth and made sure no one was around lol

Not worth it. Then you're liable for all damage. Even if you don't do any damage you will have to sneak around bringing stuff in, not let your neighbors in, and probably keep your curtains closed and still you will likely get busted.

Well maybe a nanotank

I snuck my 300g and a board member said, "what is that?" as I was getting it through the elevator and I said "it's my new fridge.":biglaugh:

don't do it. if your rodi ever overflows, or your sump/tank leaks/overflows while you are not home, you are in deep sh*t.

"How did that tank get in there? I am a perfect tenant. Someone must have gotten jealous of me and while I was out snuck in a tank and tried to frame me. You've got to believe me."

Better don?t do it at all
see if you can get them to aprove if you get it covered in renters insurance
Or if Its a emotional support animal :wink1:

my question is.. why would you even mention you have a tank?
i would just move in and set up my tank and never let anyone in my house

wait just noticed, water filled furniture is not a reef tank. reef tanks arent furniture.

+1 reef tanks aren't furniture, it's just an aquarium. Water filled furniture would be a water bed.

LOL, you guys are playing semantics with words that have the potential for large liability losses. How many of you can say you NEVER had any flooding? Whether it be the display overflowing, the sump flooding, plumbing failing or forgotten RODI's overflowing the reservoir. The water damage that can occur beyond the confines of his apartment will not only be borne by him but possible liability for 'pain & suffering' due to the inconvenience of loss of use of a kitchen, living room, bedroom or whatever room is below the flood, loss of time from work, etc. Not to mention that a violation of the terms of the lease if this were to happen will virtually guarantee his eviction.

Worth it? Maybe to you. Not me.

I just paid a heafty insurance claim to have my downstairs neighbors ceiling redone, as I flooded. Lucky shes very cool ad I own the apartment, otherwise, I wouldn't

I have experience with Marinelands insurance paying for damage to downstairs neighbors apartments on claims.

If that is the case then I guess no one in that apartment can have flower vases filled with water. Lol but on serious note, leaks/accidents happen so might not be worth it like others suggested.

Booze, cigars, women, pugilism yes. Flowers? Hell no. Ain't no stinkin' flowers here.

If its damage you are worried about get renters insurance that covers water damage

usually those apartments don't allow anything over 10g. when i was looking at apartments before, that was the rule. also, all depends what floor you are on if you want to risk it. 1st floor floods are fine since you will just have to replace the wood just in case. I had my 50g with a sump on brand new laminate wood floors. moved out and no damage even when some water got on the floor. I always just made sure to clean it up asap. I also got an apex for the leak detection modules.
