How many litres is it, 1litre = 1kg. Then you have to add weight of the glass, stand, gravel and decor.

TBH Not many floors will hold a 6 footer unless they are reinforced.

Thats without decor and substrate, and that is about the weight of a small car in a much smaller area. WHICH IS VERY HEAVY...

You could also try spreading the wait evenly with a board or something or a sheet of plywood, polystyrene then another sheet? Sure i've seen that mentioned here before.

ah so you not selling it then....



all the sand etc will weigh 60k+ easily

it will bough your boards if you lie it the same direction as your joists, you need to lie it perpendicular across at least 2 of them, it should be ok then, its a lot of weight tho
