Weight limits for second floor house/condo, etc...?

[salty150]

Anyone here know of aquarium weight limits for a second floor house/condo, etc...?

Interested in a 120 gallon (60" H x 18" W x 26" H).

As long as you are placing it along a wall and across the floor joists, I think you are fine. I had a 80 gallon with a 40 gallon sump on the second floor of my townhouse and had no issues.

As mentioned above it will depend on the structural layout and tank positioning.

Ideally you’ll want the tank to sit perpendicular to the floor joists against a load bearing wall.

Had my 130 with a 40 gallon sink above the garage no issues at all.

I had that same dimension tank on a second floor, no problems. Just make sure you are perpendicular to the floor joists and either right over a load bearing or exterior wall.
