Hello

I have recently moved into a new house and have been looking forward to setting my new tank & cabinet up in my room. I have been told I can't put it in my room because of the weight.
I couldn't tell you the weight of the tank or volume of water it holds but the length is 52"x12"x12". It is a large tank with a steel frame and is on a large heavy cabinet. My floor is wooden with only a couple of wooden supports running the length of the room.
Is there any way of working around this? Please help, I'll be grateful of any advice!!!

Regards
 
I've had bigger tanks in upstairs rooms on wooden floors before now without any issue. That said, it is impossible to comment really without inspecting the structure of the floor. The thing to consider is how much does it weigh in comparison to other items on that floor construction. Things like baths when full of water, are very heavy, so is a group of 4-5 people.
