If you think of it as 550 lbs, then it is no different than having three
of
your buddies standing side by side in your home, So I'd say "Yup. It
will
hold the weight"

Hey everyone, can the average trailer in good condition (or
'manufactured home' if you prefer) hold the weight of a 55 gallon
aquarium? What about a 75 gallon?

I REALLY want some cichlids, but I want to do it right, in a large
tank. But then again, I don't want to wake up one morning to find that
my trailer itself is now 'aerated' by a large hole in the floor!

Thanks!



Umm...

I'd be careful about that assumption. What happens when those three big
guys are looking at the 700 - 800 lb fish tank. That is an awfully big
load, something like 5 times the load that your refrigerator puts on the
floor.

I don't know what the live and static load ratings are for normal home
construction. Any architects out there who can tell us? Even then,
pre-fab
construction may not meet the same building code as stick-built homes.

The only way to be sure is consult the trailer manufacturer, and ask them
for the static load rating.
