oh i wouldnt hang it, I would mount it in the joists IN the ceiling, not hanging from it. Still would be a heck of an engineering feat, but i think it could be doable

If you make that tank ill keep all the fish i have till they die or i die

I'm checking into the ceiling tank now. I bribed a buddy of mine who is a structual eng. with beer to come over and see if it can be done.

@wareagle, remember anything is possible with enough re enforcement and bracing lmao
On a serious note though, let me know what your buddy says about it.

honestly if you built around the tank...as you were building your house... it could be done really cool... but just "installing one into an existing ceiling, i would have doubts

 

[tjfish]

Well im sure you would have to re frame the ceiling, but i think one could be installed. put simply, what im thinking is frame it in much like you would fram in a "window" or "door" in the ceiling and the tank sits down into the "window frame" and rests on a lip in the frame and is supported by the framing around it, this would make the joists bare the weight just as they would if the tank was sittin on the floor above
This is all in my head at the moment, so hopefully i described so you guys can visualize it lol.
