I have been OKd for the lease. This settles a family conflict that could have scuttled plans... we are cleared for approach and may sign next week if all goes well.

The turtle department is a tough situation. Turt and his crew should ideally move to a 75 gallon tank. He'll need a stand that spreads that weight out, and it'll have to be on a piece of floor that can hold the weight long-term. (The floors are uneven, but they seem firm.)

Even if the floors are a little iffy, you can just go to home depot and get them to cut a 2 foot by 4 foot (or whatever) sheet of half inch plywood, and flop that down on the floor to be a base to support the tank and stand. It will spread the weight out so the floor can hold it no problem.

I built a stand for my son's 75 gallon tank, and I don't have mad JimHelm skilz. Just screwed together 2X4s. I'll try to remember to take some pix.
