I actually had an engineer come (paranoid) to check out the place before I set up the 200G...he laughed when he got here and said I had wasted my money
He had the building plans as well.
He told us, on the record, he can't give us a number (tank size), but off the record, he wouldn't worry about anything under 5000-6000 lbs. So up to about 500G.
Our strata doesn't have a bylaw for aquariums, just how many fish you have
but I wasn't going to push it. They recently changed it to one aquarium only but still left out size. Apparently now you can have as many fish as you like but in any sized tank.
I would hate to have water leaking down into the Falafel house downstairs at lunch time! I think I would pack up and just leave. Although I had about 50G of RO water on my floor the other night/morning and I have to say, it pools up very nicely and only took about 20 minutes to clean up and maybe an hour to dry with no fans. Polished concrete floors are nice!
EDIT: Oh have you been by the building before?
