Fish Tank Went Through Floor

My experience with apartments is they don t like fish tanks or water beds.

Fish tank went through floor.

Can my floor support a 150 gallon fish tank. I doubt the floor is going to fall through because of one fish tank. Some info that may be important for this. It s just that less than a year into fish keeping i ve realized that i have much more wall room than my 55 gallon takes up.

I have a townhouse and the tank is on the first floor. The stationary weight of your aquarium is acting to dampen some of the floor vibrations due to foot traffic. Now the aquarium is causing the floor to bounce actually your aquarium is doing the exact opposite. 2 wooden 6x3x4 wooden reptile tanks stacked on top of each other.

And a 75 gallon fish tank in the room over from me. Even the small to medium sized fish tank can be hundreds of pounds in total weight. Large tanks usually wind up in a finished basement. 75 gallon reptile tank.

The same basic principles would apply to a 150 gallon as would apply to a 125 gallon with considerations about placement and identifying load bearing structures being important to the decision making process. So of course i m thinking all about how great a 6ft tank would look as it would fill up the wall that my 4ft tank is on. I ve done plenty of. My floor was doing fine until i put that 75 gallon aquarium in the room.

Thank goodness it was only 24 off the ground. I would get the ok from the landlord before guessing. I remodeled a house that a hot tub fell through well broke the floor joists on a porch. As with the 125 gallon tank there is much to consider before opting for such a large setup.

Having the floor collapsing is not funny. Unless you are sure the floor is strong enough or if the fish tank is small and light.
