Assume 10 gallons per gallon of water, so 500 pounds. Then add the weight of the stand, the tank itself, the gravel/sand, the ornaments and other accessories plus the fish. You will probably have 750lbs at minimum sitting constantly in one place. Then add your own weight and anyone else that would come over to watch or tend to the fish.

If you want to add a tank to the second floor, your best bet is to judge the integrity of your home. Pick a place that you strongly believe would have received the least bit of traffic over the years. The floor boards/beams are likely to be the strongest here. You will see differences in wear on the floor.

Why do some buildings have doors on the outside of the second floor?

The door on the second floor of many rural properties was there due to the heavy snow falls that many got in the Eastern parts of Canada and USA. Often you could not get out of your main floor door if the snow storm drifted snow against it. The only alternative was to await a neighbour to come and shovel you out.


Is it okay to have a treadmill on the second story of a building?

Yes they are not that heavy. A typical treadmill weighs as much as a king-sized bed with matress and boxspring, or an average dresser with drawers. Putting a treadmill on the second floor is not dangerous in terms of weight. You should consider the height of the room, and that constant wear and tear on the floor-boards, floor-joists, or cross-beams may create a "noisy" zone in your floor.
