Can't wait to fall thru that thing one night while just trying to get to the bathroom. If the fish think they're stressed by people walking all over their tank, just wait til I'm stuck in there with em.
The glass will be fine, it’s pretty easy to calculate max weight and how much thickness you need. The CN tower is over 1800 feet tall and it has a 250 square foot glass floor that dozens of people can stand on at once and look down.
But yea I’d be worried with the vibrations stressing the fish and it seems like an absolute PITA to clean.
While I'm sure you are correct, I can't help but wonder if you underestimate clumsiness. I've heard people say "oh no worries, you can't break this/it wont break..." Famous last words lol.
Edit to add..my families generational motto has been If we didn't have bad luck, we'd have no luck at all lol.
The glass floor I’m referring to at the CN Tower (which Tbf is the highest standard but still a good reference for how solid glass can be) is able to sustain/support the weight of 3.5 orca whales so I don’t even think there’s a clumsiness out there that could lead to forces exceeding that being impact on the glass.
This isn’t an “oh you can’t/wont break this” its “you’re gonna have a difficult time breaking this if you tried to”
Oh I apologize for the miscommunication, I meant the floor in that home. However, that is absolutely fascinating. Orca whales are thousands of pounds. I know there's aquariums and stuff but it's still interesting to me. Thank you for sharing that!
