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. ~Aysha

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

If you're really worried and can't check the joists, you could add a sheet of plywood on the floor before setting up the tank to help spread the weight. However, I don't think it is going to be an issue.
For all the threads started on fish sites about this weight of fish tanks & floor strength issue, I have NEVER heard of one case where a tank actually going through a floor. NOT a single one and I've been keeping fish since the mid-70s. Yes, too much weight can cause floors to sag if not placed properly perpendicular over the floor joists, but yours is small enough & light enough it shouldn't be an issue.
