What sort of weight will the joists support on the upper floor of a house? My problem is that I can only have a tank if it goes upstairs in the office. I have worked out that I could fit a 120 wide x 40 deep x 50 high tank which is about 230 litres? I assume if loaded up, the whole tank and all the equipment could work out to be 500kg. Now I can situate this tank across 3 joists but is that too much weight to go upstairs in one place?
To me (a complete novice when coming to these things!) it should be fine. I mean, that is about 7 people standing in one area of a room.
I just dont want it landing downstairs in my lounge!
