max size aquarium in a condo?

[Ryan7]

Would like to hear on this subject from someone who has the education on the matter.

I would like to know how much weight can a wood frame 2nd storey floor hold? Lets say based on a 6x2ft footprint whether it is against a wall or not.

I am allowed to only keep a "reasonable number of fish". Open to some interpretation, wouldn't you say?

My strata has approved a 135gal, make sure your insurance covers all water damage. As my insurance company wanted to know the approx amount of evaporation, wattage of the lights and total water volume.

Insurance is a good thing. For $250/yr well worth it.
