Can my floor support a 150 gallon fish tank.
Fish tanks on second floor.
Is this a high tank or a long tank.
My floor was doing fine until i put that 75 gallon aquarium in the room.
Now the aquarium is causing the floor to bounce actually your aquarium is doing the exact opposite.
Plus this fish tank comes with a nautical background and a blue hue for a splash of color.
Depends upon exactly where you put it and a good understanding of your house structure.
Typical new home manufactured floor trusses only good for 10 pounds per square foot in a large room and maybe as much as 20 pounds per square foot in a small.
Crafted from aluminum and plastic this tank can be mounted on your wall and has an easy to open top for feeding your fish.
The less surface area of the floor it takes up per gallon the higher the danger would be.
I have a 20 gal tank on the second floor of my house now i want to get a bigger one but i am worried about it being too much weight in one small er area.
The stationary weight of your aquarium is acting to dampen some of the floor vibrations due to foot traffic.
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.
For freshwater fish only this tank requires no pump or filtration.

Also the the shape of the tank would matter as well.
Is there guidlines for how big a fish tank you can put on a second floor without worring about the floor and any potential damage.
