Hi All,

Looking for some advice.

I live in London in a 3 story terrace house, we currently have a 200lt Freshwater fish tank on the landing and would like to replace it with a Redsea Reefer 350 or 425 however we are unsure how strong the floor is.

Here is a very very crude paint drawing of the layout of the area, the floor joists are 8inches deep and 60cm apart as well as very close to 3 Load Bearing Walls.

Does anyone know how we can figure out for sure if the area would be able to support to weight of a reefer 350 or 425?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

If those joist are spaced correctly ( not sure when or who built house ) and not rotted, it should not be a problem.
Lot of if's
