If they're a foot thick the interior square footage would be 8'x4', 32 sq. ft. 264 gallons is about 35 cubic feet, so filled about 13" deep. So you'd drop the weight under a ton but water still has a tendency to slosh which can give you a sizeable lateral load. Your weak point isn't the load the joists can hold, but the lateral load the connection to the ledger board can withstand. This is why all those second story porches collapsed. The code now calls for two lateral braces per porch which can withstand 1500 pounds of lateral load. Even at that volume of water you're maxing out what those braces are designed to withstand. And, since code now calls for the framing to be tied directly to the framing of the living area there's a high risk of a collapse causing damage to your floor framing in the home.

I did. Had some azrider-type shit go on in there. Turned a shitty month into a great one. Glad I didn't die.

"it depends"
best to ask someone who is familiar with you home's particular construction. maybe you live in an area that was built up at the same time by the same builder? generally, i'd say most residential construction could handle it, but there's plenty of cases where they've come crashing through the ceiling. never in a WFO log cabin of course
