Help with size of the tank

[Camilo Lessa]

Hello i asked for an enginier to check if my floor can hold the aquarium that i was designing, and He and He now gave me 2 options.

1: I'd have to make an Aquarium, that the whole system need to have maximum of 1000 kg(2204 lb) ( display tank, water, rock, sand pumps, skimmer, furniture)

Or

2: the display with ROCKS, water furniture, etc need to have maximum 1000 kg(2204 lb) , and put the sump 2-3 meters away (6,56 - 9,84 feet)

Any suggest of size of the aquarium with sump and everything to have maximum 2204 lb for the option 1 and option 2 please?

I need to dicede what size i ll make until next month.
I took this print from a site to help you choose

Best regards Camilo

What floor is it on? If there is a basement etc, the easiest thing to do is reinforce the floor from underneath.
