Fish tank in condo

[lorenz0]

A 120 is 24x24x48 and if you do a simple volume calculation its about 4/6 the volume of a 120gal

But I still haven't heard from my condo board. And yes after buying my apartment I found out all about the bylaws here. Only small dogs, no reptiles/exotic pets (still don't know if SW tanks fall under this) and nothing that can endanger other residents.

btw having 6 friends jumping on the same spot is different. thats only a short period of time of pressure.

Sounds like the condo board will likely be against aquariums all together, if they don't even allow reptiles and nothing that will endanger other residents they'll likely throw the water damage card despite what the floor can hold. If it was me I would have kept it on the down low, since you had nothing actually stating that aquariums were not allowed you would be fine even if disaster struck. If they come back now stating not allowed you're screwed. Oh well, hope it works out.

Fish tanks are allowed but they don't have a size restriction

starting to think this won't happen by the lack of response from the condo board

I doubt the condo board would even have a clue what the load limits would be. Honestly that tank isn't large enough to raise any concerns relating to building structure.

The Board of Directors consists of other homeowners just like you; they will not take a responsibility of attempting to verify the load capacity by themselves, naturally. They would either say no right away (because that's the simplest and safest response) or defer the question to the Property Manager, who, in turn, would most likely revert it back to you and request that you must provide a verification by a Professional Engineer that your proposed aquarium would not pose any structural risks to the building. If you have any friends that are civil engineers qualified to do structural calculations you may wanna talk to them about getting such verification in advance. Hope it helps.
