I bought this fish tank without thinking about the weight it will be putting on my floor, the tank itself weighs roughly 150kg and sits on a steel stand which about 25/30kg, with water, gravel etc this will push the 800kg limit. I live on the 2nd floor of a 1950s/60s council building and my My floors are concrete of some type with a floor built ontop with a layer of plywood then carpeted, i found this out a few years back when a plumber cutout a square of floor in my bathroom and i could see along it. is it possible for me to use this or should i just not bother?

Only time will tell.
As long as there's no restrictions in your lease, go ahead.
If it cracks the floor, your neighbour will tell you...
