Hello everyone, yes I'm sorry but as the title says its another question to do with fish tanks being upstairs. Now I know there is no definite answer even after getting a structural engineer in but this is more for peace of mind. I've currently got 95 litre and 48 litre aquariums next to each other in my bedroom and I'd like to get another. Maybe 60 litre or less, the 60 litre will be on the other side of the room. So thats a total of over 200kg in water alone never mine the stands and the glass etc. Does anyone guestimate that another tank is possible or am I already pushing the boundaries?
The room is a typical bedroom; double bed, wardrobe, computer desk, book shelf
Thanks

The room is (very) rougly 2.8m x 3.1m and the house was built in the 1990's in the UK
 
a litre of water weighes a kilo plus substrate, tank stand etc..but this tends to be spread out over the stand so i would say there ok - i mean say you have several really fat people stood in one spot upstairs as long as there not huge aquariums and there spread out throughout the room i think they'll be fine
 
^^^ that, iv had a 20L and a 60L upstairs + water change water in 4 buckets as well as me and all my stuff, dident break the house, long if your under 250L total i think you'll be okayish but as you said its just a guess
 
As said before, I am a builder and we regularly load out breeze blocks on the joists when building internal walls, a full pack of blocks weighs about 1 1/4 tonne, this is done without issue.
