new house new tank

[Animal-Chin]

I live in a townhouse with the exact same wording in the bi laws. I was on strata for years too. When saying "reasonable" its totally subjective so you're actually pretty safe if you just set up a tank. I have a 125 gallon with 8 fish currently, both are reasonable. What they don't want is you to turn your garage into a fish breeding operation with 27 40 gallon tanks and 1000's of guppies or whatever. That's not "reasonable". They also don't want you turning your livingroom into a 20,000 gallon shark tank, that's not reasonable. A regular saltwater aquarium that you can purchase at the store is reasonable. If you put in a 250 gallon and someone on strata questioned it, you'd win, the bi law is to vague.

I myself thought 125 was probably the limit. I don't need to reinforce the floor or anything like that, sounds reasonable. If I was adding to the sub floor to support the weight of my tank, I may have crossed the reasonable threshold but would still probably win if I fought it.
