I thought it was too good to be true.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/black-4-5-ft-LARGE-LUXURY-WALL-MOUNTED-FISH-TANK-AQUARIUM-PROFESSIONAL-LED-RGB-/150735809955?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item23188deda3   Are these any good?   How would you know if your wall could support it?   I don't understand it.

I've decided after a long think about this and my options it is something I do not want to just set it up and run the risk and considering I'm not going to be in this upstairs flat for anymore than two years and the problems this size tank would cause for example changing water and so on is just...

I would prefer to go second hand tbh, just don't want one scratched alot.

I've chosen wisely not to get a 6ft tank but a 4ft tank (I live upstairs and a 6ft tank would cause too many problems), 4ft tank length, 1 ft width, 1ft or 1 1/2 ft height wanted, must have no scratches on it (heavy ones that are visible) and must be in good condition with a stand and hood.   On...

4ft length by 1ft width by 1 1/2 height is the tank I've seen on eBay and that looks a decent size as the 6fter will cause way too many problems in the long run. Especially since I won't be living here permanently or for a long period of time so when I want to move (say I got the 6fter) it...

  I won't be staying in this flat for many years so it would be pointless me spending x amount of £££ just for the sake of it.   I've often though about the "tank in the wall" idea but it won't be good in the upstairs flat.   Plus, this will require permission, for sure.     I don't rely on...

Would it not be 108 per sq ft since its 2ft high? Divide it by 12 then x2?

Why divide by 18? I'm confused on the formula to work this out. 130kg per square metre is what is advised - from what I've read online. I don't know the full house history but I do know these are buildings that were built roughly in the 1930s. I've not had any signs of poor floors...I am...

How many kgs per foot and per square metre does a 6by2by2 tank work out to be? Sorry I just don't know the formula to work it out. :(

I'll get someone to have a look soon, when I get some time off from work, I do need my mind put at peace as I really don't want to risk putting it there and then one day come in and want to relax for work and see mine and downstairs flats destroyed, plus this could potentially kill someone...

You lot are right I guess the only way to know 100% is to get someone who knows whether I can or not. That's my biggest worry and would make me so uneasy to even sleep is if it holded for a period of time then one day I came in from work and my sitroom floor had fallen through. Exactly, even...

I understand what you are saying but can some knowledge on the subject from people not help me? Even reading myself tells me that even a 4ft is too heavy so wouldn't paying x amount of £'s for a engineer tell me the exact same be a waste of money and time? It seems some people actually risk it...

I know these houses are old that's 100% sure. These size tanks are very heavy and that's what I'm worried about incase anything bad happens. What is my next step as I really want this size tank. :(

According to: http://www.funqa.com/engineering/518-Engineering.html Even a 4ft tank is too heavy for an average/normal floor either up or down. As far as I know the joists are just normal ones and the tank would be running parallel and across roughly 8. But this tank will weigh roughly or...

I'm wanting to own a 6ft by 2ft by 2ft tank and according to calculation websites this holds 450 litres which is approx 108 stone, the tank will be on a fully supported cabinet not just a four leg stand and across 7-8 joists but I need to know how much my floor can handle as I live in an...

This is what I'm worried about, the complete sheer size of it, it's a beast of a tank. See it wasnt my choice to have an upstairs flat anyways and if it was downstairs I'd have no problem or a house (then I'd put it downstairs only). I was speaking to a friend of a friend about it and was...

Is this expensive? I just don't want any troubles with the weight so would rather be safe than sorry.

Although that tank is nice I only want a 6fter. I don't mind travelling.

I live in an upstairs flat so how can I make sure the floorboards will support a 6ft tank?

Hi, I'm after a 6fter preferably with stand and hood, would hope for a free to good home but willing to pay a few hundred pounds as long as in good condition (no heavy scratches), I'm from the Newcastle Upon Tyne area so if anybody knows anyone getting rid of one then let me know.
