I am thinking of getting a larger tank. I have a 110 custom dimensions thats why the odd gallonage. My question is how can you factor how much weight a floor will hold safely?

I am on the upper floor in a condo and have concerns of how much weight the floor will stand. Is there a method to use to calculate how much a floor can hold? I know an engineer can do this but who wants to aqquire the services of an engineer when the money is better spent on the new tank :)

I know how to figure the weight of salt water and the weight of tank, LR etc. I also know that the more the weight is distributed in square footage will allow for more weight.

any input ???
