Hi all just been pointed to this forum by someone to ask for some help.
Here is the strory,i live in a purpose built council flat thats about 40 yrs old
I live on the first floor i.e there is a tennent below me.
I know the floor is beam and block,i have a 200kg fish tank and im upgrading soon to a 500kg tank,now i think i know which way the beams go (a few builders think same as me) as there is a skim of concrete over the top.
The tank is going to sit on 2 beams against the load baring wall.Now i no noone can say it will be fine thats inpossible not seing the floor,,and im struggling to aford a engineer to come out.
Im just asking for view on if anyone thinks its a defo no no it wont hold or a it will be fine or any other help on it.
im told of 2 council workers it should be fine who did a few jobs,but 1 was a kitchen fitter and the other a chippy,,im a chippt and fit kitchens and strucutual aint my thing so i cant rely on them.
sorry for the long message
thanks
