Determining max tank size for my apartment?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		HELP!! 
 
Any engineers, architects, or construction gurus out there who can tell me how to determine a safe weight allowance for the floor in my 3rd floor apartment.   
 
I live in a wood frame building on the 3rd floor (probably late 70's early 80's construction) and am concerned with the size of tank I can safely  put in.  What construction information do I need to know and is there a formula to determine how much weight my floor joists will support? 
 
Also what is the best way to distribute the weight evenly accross the base of the tank stand?
