HI Friends,
I already have a 72 inches length ,30 inches height x 8 inches wide Hole in the dividing wall between my living room and Family room on the ground floor of my house.
I am planning to put a Aquarium 60x 20x 8 inches into it.
I will hold around 25 gallons of cold water which means around 200 lbs of water weight plus aquarium glass weight should be around 120 bs.
Plus rocks and other accessories .So it should be under 350 lbs.
Now my question is will my Divider wall will be able to bear this weight as usually divider wall is not a load bearing wall .
If your answer is no then what I shall do to reinforce this wall without tearing it apart.
Your valuable advise will be highly appreciated
