I live in an apartment & currently have a 75g setup, if I were to jump to a 150g setup would the concret slab floor support the weight. this may sound silly but I don't want to cause damage to anything.

If it is concrete floor then you should have no problem with getting a 150g tank, what floor are you on?

i'm on the 3rd floor. its an older building but the floors are the concrete sections. I just did know what a 150 with 200 lbs of rock and sand would weigh and if it would be safe. like I said I don't want to cause any damage.

I had a 180 with concrete slab floors. More importantly you need to get your apt permission. If you stick one in there, and something does happen you are up poo creek. Read your lease! See what that says about tanks. Get written permission, if possible get them to talk to the builder. And be sure you set your tank over the floor bracing. In my case my tank started leaking, I caught it in time, but if I hadn't, I'd been liable for 100,000 in damages.
