building tank problem

[JF Sirois]

I was thinking of building a 6x3x2 wide tank in my room, then i talked to the a guy and sais that its too heavy for the floor. I really want to make it in this room. after that i was thinking of making a 6x3x1 so that it would weigh half but still have the same footprint, but i think it would look funny and limit me a lot in the choice of fish. Any solutions guys?

Instead of guessing, why don't you ask a builder or someone professionally qualified to inspect you floor and get his advice? At least it will put your mind at rest once and for all.

If you contacted an engineer they should be able to talk to you about reinforcing the floor (which may not be an option) or advise you where to place a smaller tank.

Or why not work backwards from the fish you want? You might find that you get away with a smaller tank

Hello; Do you own the house? If not then the owner needs to be consulted? Also very good renters insurance.
