110 gallon tank

[haloman02]

Would a 110 gallon tank 4 foot by 3 foot by 18 inches full ith water and gravel + stand.

Would an average building be able to support that much weight or no?

yeah should be able to just try to put it on a middle beam or ont he side of a room

Depends on where you put it. The center of a large 2nd story room and place it so it sits parallel to the floor joists? No.

Along a wall (especially a loadbearing wall)? Definately.

yeah try to figure out where your floor beams are.....if u can keep it on the beam ull do fine

Try to find your floor beams and place the tank on top parrallel to them. If you haven't done anything to your basement you could just go downstairs at look up to find the floor beams.

You would want your tank perpendicular to standard floor joists (cross as many boards as possible).

If you have a large beam across the floor, you would be better off having the tank overlap it near the middle.
