I had to laugh about your ideas concerning the weight of "said fish
tank"
and what structural
modifications will be needed. I have just one small question that you
should
consider,before
rewriting the Laws of Architectural design. How heavies the bath Tub,
plus
your weight.
Also ,,Do you own a Water bed..

it's obvious that you've never been involved with building a house before,
because if you had, you would know they already have guidelines for
bathrooms, and laundry rooms, that detail where and how a
tub/shower/Jacuzzi
can/should be laid out... They are almost always in either high integrity
areas, corners, load bearing walls, etc... for the specific reason,
they'll
be heavier.... If you are building a house, and tell the architect that
you
are wanting a 250g tank, he'll ask where do you want it... You say, in the
middle of that room... He'll laugh, and reinforce the floor... If you said
2nd floor, in the middle of the room.... he'll put alot of enforcement
below
that floor and the floor below....

No kidding! A full 250 would weigh over 2200 lbs.
