Apartment Tank!

[GTS_MAD]

Hey guys as some of you know iv been having trouble with the new construction of my new apartment, they have been saying i couldnt have a big aquarium which is fine and gave me the floor figure of 1.5kn m2.

My question is, well peoples opinion really,
Iv been offered a Fluval Osaka 320Litre tank,

Do people think this would be ok againest the brick baring wall, the apartment is 1st floor, so 1 level up.

it depends on how many joists the load is spread over no one is going to be able to tell you for definate you would need a proper survey to be sure, however i had a similar problem trying to find out if my 220litre tank would be ok upstairs on a wooden floor and it's been fine, mine is a deep square tank and was only spread over two joist and is ok.

I think you will be just fine! They told you that number because it is a safe number. If the structure fails, then the designer is the one that is going to be at fault not you.
