Does anyone have experience determining the max load a floor can hold?

Thinking about putting an aquarium in my condo against the wall. It is on the 3rd floor of a multi-home condo unit built by Ryan Homes in 2016. I'd like to go for a 180G tank.

You need a structural engineer to determine the load factor.

Agreed, usually this can only be guaranteed by a professional.  That said, if you're in a complex or even a standardized home, you may be able to contact the builder and find out.  While they may not reply or may not share blueprints, large buildings or homes built in large numbers will always have had this kind of analysis done at some stage in their design, so there's a chance the numbers are available if the right person will reply to you.
