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 upstairs flat and browsing google some are saying its ok some are saying it is not, how can I calculate it myself without necessarily paying a couple of hundred for an engineer (structural one) to tell me? This has me so confused and also I don't forget the tank will have more weight with the stand, gravel, etc etc.
