Hi All,
This is my first post on the forum. I am purchasing a proclear 200. I am told the final weight will be around 2100-2200 pounds. The tank is 5 ft long x 26 inches deep x 26 heigh. I live in a 6th-floor apartment in Miami in a solid concrete building (13 floors in total). The tank would be placed next to a structural pile and the whole place has all poured concrete floors. I spoke to my building management company about the weight and they said it would be fine....however, I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with a similar situation. Anyone place such a heavy tank in a solid concrete building? The weight would be spread over 10 sq feet...so around 220 pounds per sq ft. It should be fine according to resistance calculations I have found online. From what I am seeing, poured floors allowed by code should be able to resist 175kg per sq cm!! So more than enough. But just want to make sure my neighbor below me isn't going to wake up to a surprise one day, haha.
Thanks all. I really value your shared experiences.
All the Best,
James
