Safe upstairs?

[bigsteve]

I have a 92 gallon bow front fish tank with stand that weighs about 175 lbs empty with salt water being over 8 lbs per gallon. There is 240 lbs of live rock a 20 gallon filter system plus pumps lights and everything else. That is well over a 1,000 lbs. It has been setup in my second floor bedroom for two years and have had no problems. I do have it on a load bearing wall so that probably does help. I think your good to go. Have a safe move. No pun intended

Maximum load in pounds that one of your floor joists can support. For example, if you have 2-by-10 joists spaced 16 inches on center with a span of 14 feet, the calculation would be the following: ( (1,000) x (1.5) x (9.25^2) ) / (9 x 14) = 1,019 pounds per joist.
