Good morning,
I plan to install an aquarium in the future house with dimensions (L x W x H) of approximately 50 x 60 x 50 cm (20 x 24 x 20 inches) and a volume of 140 liters (37 gallons). Along with the matching cabinet and filled with water, I estimate the total weight to be around 220 kilograms (485 pounds) on a base area of 0.3 m² (3.2 ft²).
The floor will be a reinforced concrete slab with underfloor heating and a flowing screed, covered with laminate flooring.
Can I safely place this relatively small aquarium without concerns, or should I expect that the screed could be damaged by the permanent point load?
