Ok so I recently inherited my dad's house that has a unfinished second floor above the garage. I want to do a built in reef since I have to put walls in anyways. The question I have is if anyone know what kind of wieght the floor will support.
It has 22" floor trusses on 16in centers and where the tank would be going it's a 24' span. Unfortunately I do not have any load bearing walls that I can take advantage of.
I was hoping to view the tank from 3 sides so a large square tank is ideal. Even though I know a longer tank spread over more of the trusses would probably be better.
I've tried looking online for the strength the trusses can support but not having alot of luck.
