Hello all,

I have a 5 month old Florida Snapper that I am moving to a new setup. He's been an outdoor pet his entire life (I bring him in when it's chilly), and up to this point has been in a 10-gallon tank on a stand in our Florida room.

Well, I am moving him to a 100-gallon, and my wife brought up a good point-- we live in Florida and occasionally have high winds. Should I be nervous that his tank could tip on the stand due to wind? Or, will the weight of the tank keep the tank in place? Has anyone ever kept a big stand in a Florida/outdoor room?

Thanks
Bob
