honestly u will be fine even if u just know basic framing or know how to look it up. just a quick reminder to all but most of our homes (in the US not sure how homes are done in other countries), even 2 stories, are framed with 2x4's for the most part.

2X4's in the floor??? The walls maybe.........

next time ur outside, look at the bottom of ur condo where it meats the grass....do u see concrete, or does it look like u can pull a piece of aluminum siding or wood back and crawl under ur condo?
 
PS, do u own this condo and plan on staying there a while, or are u renting and do u expect to move in a year or two?
 
i own it and i know its a concrete foundation. lol dont know much about construction. plus i know it will be a pain, but the tank is the biggest that will fit through a conventional 33" wide door :) guess my girlfriend is lucky we dont have double doors!
 
just to be safe, u may want to get an engineers report to get the thickness of the slab, are there any pipes n ish running under where u wanna put tank, and mix/compression rating for the concrete used, and have him verify that the slab can hold the 4100 lbs of water + tank/stand/substrate/decorations.

not tryin to be a d*ck or anything, i'd jus really hate to hear anything bad happen cause u got a monster tank.
 
i layed concrete slabs on and off for a summer, they are pretty strong, and i think its spread out enough, but its something i will look into. thanks for the input
