Ahh some people with quite abit then! at the mo i got two 240L tanks in my bed room! was hopeing to sell one and buy a 600L tank for my bedroom! not sure how much a bed room floor can take lol!!

I made sure the tank was placed so that it was going across the floor joists . not along them

Am sure your bedroom floor can take abit of weight .. my parents had a king sized water bed upstairs in the house way back when ,, no idea what the amount of water it held , though am guessing a hell of alot

I wouldnt go by such theorys, i brought up a topic the same as this a while back and there are several factors to concider.

1) Your parents double bed would of been spread over a far larger surface area.

2) They wouldnt be lying in it 24/7, just because the floor holds innitially doesnt meen a year down the line it wont start to bow

Just be realistic, if you want somthing bigger then 150l its probably best to stay on solid ground

Including sumps and fuges I have 13 up and running, all but one of them upstairs on wooden joists and floorboards.

The pic is a Lophiocharon trisignatus and is indeed mine.

When I was at my worst I had 7 tanks running, though none upstairs. I had a 600 liter tank in the bedroom along one wall which was lovely to wake up to. I kept peaceful SA cichlids in there mostly. The downside was hearing the sound of the filter pumps the whole time - not a problem when they were new, but after a while the noise increased no matter what I did. I could probably have slept through it in my teens, but it's different after 40... I miss that tank though.
My advice on the upstairs problem is to check your home insurance policy. Some policies don't include damage from huge amounts of tank water, in which case a tank upstairs isn't advisable.

I'm laughing if i want to put a tank upstairs as my house is a prefab pure concrete beaut. Very environmentally friendly!!!

 

[smmetz]

just a 55 and 29. I am looking to get a 125 gallon also, if I find the right deal on Ebay.

 

[TribeOfShroom]

In total, I have 345L in my bedroom...

 

[shroob]

90 gallon, 70 gallon, 50 gallon all in my bedroom. Its good to wake up and see your fish, but then worry about waking up and seeing a hole in the floor isn't so good. It should be alright though.
