Too Much Weight?

[Jaws]

I like that answer. The tank is 72X24X24 and with the stand measures 76.5 inches tall. The new stand for the refuge etc is also 76.5 inches tall and has a footprint of 32" by 28". I can't believe how solid it's built too. I think I went a little overboard but better that than the other. Anyone else have an opinion they want to share?

So this condo is a complete wood structure.......you should be fine, you have all the weight right close to load bearing walls!!

The building is a complete wood structure but also has two inches of concrete in between floors for soundproofing. This is good because it helps to distribute the weight more evenly but bad because it adds more weight.

You have insurance, right?

Ya, I do. I'm more worried about the little old ladies that live below me though. I'd hate to drop a house on them... There's no place like home. What do you think about the weight Brad?

Jaws . One of my Clients is a structional engineer. He tells me that all condo and apartment (that are made of wood even with 2 inches of concrete for sound proofing) .rate at 40lbs constant. And all concrete buildings are 50 lbs constant. He told me that the way my stand is built it should not be put on the second the second floor ,Because i have only six 2x4 for legs , he said if i was to put in more 2x4 I can move up to the second floor because that would lower the amount of weight that is being put down on the floor per sq. ft. Hope this helps some .

Your floor can hold a lot of weight...as long as it is spread out. You will not have a problem with 3000lbs spread over 12 square feet. I had the same question and a friend of mine talked to some engineers at his worksite and they pretty much laughed at the concept of 1500lbs going through the floor when it is spread out over 8 square feet.
I'll get a hold of the guy again and send you the standard joyce weight limits....its pretty high per square foot.
