Default Will it crash through the floor?

So I've got a question!
If you guys aren't sure I can always put the dang thing in the basement.

I got a new tank. 60gallon starfire cube with a 30 gallon sump and it's stand.
So aprox 900lbs when I fill the dang thing.

I want to put it in my living room on a corner outside wall upstairs.
do you think it would hold okay or should I put it in my barely used basement lol.

I'm upgrading from a 29 biocube so it's a bit of a jump.

I know a lot of you have tanks much bigger than mine in condos and the like so it shouldn't be an issue but it's easier to ask.

No worries there go for it. Way to small to even worry about. (disclaimer I'm not responsible for any damage caused)

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

photos tonight! I saw it and caved it was just the upgrade I was looking for. If I'm using an existing tank to stock it how long should I let it cycle for?
this thing is almost 6 feet tall with the stand! it's enormous! I love cube tanks personally and I got a screaming deal on it.

As long as you use new sand and don't disturb the sandbed in the old tank, move the rocks quickly. You shouldn't have much of a cycle at all.

brand new sand absolutly mines getting kinda ugly! I'm tempted to use sugar sand because I like the looks of it and it's way cheaper (if you know where to get it) but I heard it's a PITA...as far as corals go. go figure my tank is finally mature and nice and I NEED TO MAKE IT BIGGER! still never stop learning. I'm also thinking of changing the halides that came with it over to LED's .
