Reinforce floor for heavy aquarium

[Lasson83]

Hi!
Not sure if this is the right section to ask in, but I'll give it a try. I've acquired a 350l aquarium which, together with furnishings and water, will weigh about 540 kg, and I'm a bit worried that the floor might give way. Is there any way to reinforce with kortlingar since the aquarium will be placed between 2 joists? I'm attaching a picture of where it will be placed and how it looks in the basement below. Hopefully, I can get a good answer thanks

Best regards,
Martin

You should probably also explain what the floor consists of.

It's an old wooden floor original from 1908 then I have laid a new floor on top

No answer to your question, but I was also a bit hesitant when it was decided that we would get a 570-liter tank at home... the consensus among those I consulted was that I didn't need to worry too much. Today it is in place, and nothing has given way yet, at least.

My house with a wooden beam structure on a concrete beam was built just over 85 years after yours, and I guess it's not sturdier built than yours... But if you're unsure, specify the center-to-center distance and dimension on the beams, as well as the subfloor (with dimension) you have, and maybe someone can help you calculate.

Thanks for the reply!
I have 95 cm center-to-center between the joists which is quite wide. The joists are 10 cm wide and from what I can measure they are 15 cm high, then they go up into the ceiling so probably a few cm higher. I actually don't know the dimensions of the subfloor, but it's quite worn and not solid
