Floor support question

[richardhmc]

How do you know how much weight (fish tankwise) you can put on a floor?
I'd like to put a tank in my own room, instead of the basement, but my room is on the 6th floor, which is the top floor.

I was a general contractor, and the best answer I've ever seen for your question is answered here:

Residential Wood Framed Floors and Aquarium Weights

Great read, and easy to understand,
