average weight of an adult male in canada is roughly 177lbs

would you trust the floor to hold 9 people standing in rectangle the size of your tanks foot print?

personally would, id even let them bounce up and down a bit and still be comfortable with the weight (not the sausage fest of bouncing men)

there is your answer there easy

fill it up

Enough to bounce? Or in general?

no, just bouncing.
I am of the opinion that if you can place those people in that rectangle, you will be ok, as previously stated.
Bouncing is harsh.
Remember hearing that when soldiers marched across a bridge they would break stride.
