100kg is the limit, including the bars.

The Omega bars are very close together though

not to worried about the weight but the pond will overhang the roof by approx. 18 inches each side so not sure if this legal or not, shouldn't be wider than the mirrors though.

An 8x6 tank full of water might stretch the 100kg roof limit a bit far ;D certainly the goldfish will be quite a long way down the list of concerns ::)
