Hi guys, I currently have a 125litre tank upstairs, its 80cm long, so, can only span 2 of the joists, although it is on both and as close as poss to a supporting wall, heres what ive calculated for the weight so far:
tank and cabinet and external filter weight: 20kg
water: 115kg(displaced)
sand and rocks:15kg(rocks are fake atm, so dont way that much, prob about 3kg)
so, thats a total of approx 150kg on 2 joists, each taking 75kg, but, can i add more weight?
Im thinking about getting some real rock, about 15kg, so would be adding another: 15kg
should i worry?
The house is approx 80-90yrs old, joists are *i think* 2"x4"-just a guess really...
