My son is thinking of getting a 65 gallon aquarium. Water at 8.8 lbs per gallon is 540 lbs plus about say 50 lbs for the stand. The weight will be on approx 6 sq ft of floor. My question is will the ~600 lbs be too much for the floor joists in his house to handle.
Framing is 2X10 on 16 centers spaning ~ 14 ft. This is a house built in the late 50's so it has real 2X10's.
I am thinking this is too much weight.
Thoughts??
