Hi guys

We have a 29g fish tank which we have calculated roughly to be 170 Kilos including tank weight, water and decorations upstairs on an outside wall across two joists.

It has been there now for over a year but when we sit downstairs we keep hearing the floor creaking.

I think its always been a noisy house and I am probably just listening out now. Do you think i should be worried?

Thanks

would you think twice about 10 people in your dining room dancing away and obviosly loading the floor a lot more

your room is as built and not a conversion!
 
Supported across two joists, providing joists are sound and resting on solid brickwork, I would not worry unduly.
