max size aquarium in a condo?
 

I live in a 10 yr old condo unit. It's a wood frame with cement floors? Does anyone have a clue as to the max size aquarium I can have without problems?

Near an outside wall, you can probably install a 180g anyway. Some condos will have a max size in the strata rules. Always make sure your insurance covers water damage, just in case.

Probably should check with the condo board first, they might be the biggest restriction and even may have the answer you're looking for. With the addition of cement floors I would feel safe with up to 200 gallons of total water provided it was against a load bearing wall and perpendicular to floor joists. But I'm not a structural engineer just mechanical so defiantly no expert.

If you have a party don't let everyone crowd around the tank at once :lol:

I checked my strata rules regarding pets/aquariums....

I am allowed to only keep a "reasonable number of fish". Open to some interpretation, wouldn't you say?

Well, I think a 200 gallon is quite resonable.....;)

Ya, when I owned a condo, the rules were something like a "tank not too large" . That's a stupid thing to say to me :)

well I say 7-8 tangs is reasonable.. should be at least 200 gallons to make them happy... then you need some coral and liverock to make them happy..

You got a 400g. You're in a condo?

Dude's got a basement. It's not a highrise - although pulling a 400g off on the 35th floor of one would be kinda cool.

Yeah.... I'd be careful on that one.
When I had my condo my strata rules said something along the lines of a "reasonably sized" aquarium but that if ANY damages were incurred because of the tank (water or electrical) I was personally responsible and it was not covered by insurance. (For my own unit and any other affected units)

Sorry I can't help you on size.
