Fish Tank Too Heavy For Flooring?

[Jamiemoose]

Anyone any idea how much a 200 litre fish tank with gravel, rocks, wood and everything else is going to weigh? i live in a 3 storey house, and ideally i'd have it in my bedroom, which is on the 3rd floor, now im guessing the whole thing is going weigh about 250kg? (200 litres of water = 200kg plus everything else = 250+kg?) i havent filled it or anything yet, and to be honest i'm slightly worried about it... will it be too heavy? because i dont want it coming through the floor...
help!

300Kg at least.

Nobody can tell you here, you do anything at your own risk, the only person that can tell you whether it is safe or not is a structural engineer. If you do choose to go ahead with it make sure it's running perpendicular to the joists and over as many as possible.

okay, my step dad's a joiner, he will speak to one tommorrow... thanks though! i forgot to add the weight of the glass aswell so yeah... 300 sounds more realistic...
