Hi all,
I'm renting in a studio apartment, and I'm wondering if anybody is familiar if it's safe to keep an aquarium in the apartment.

I have a 42 gallon tank (2.5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft, 5mm thickness glass tank) - I'm worried about the following

1) Weight limits - if fully filled it'll come up to about 170kg over a 3.75sqft area. Will this be a problem in terms of structural loading for the condo?

2) Aquarium leaks - I'm worried about the aquarium leaking/shattering - that's 150liters of water out in the unit, highly probable for water damage to the units below.

Any thoughts? Half filled tank? Or am I just worrying about nothing?
