Floor support??

[FishGeek]

I think I'll be fine! I have a 135gal tank with 200gal total water volume! My tank is supported by two walls! The tank has been set up for a bit over a year and no problems what so ever! The tank does tilt forward ever so slightly though! You have to understand that all stress calculations for buildings are done with saftey factors included into the design! Think of pianos. They weigh quite a bit but they are only supported by 4 small caster wheels and they don't go through the floor boards! Or think of water beds! Most hold in excess of 200gal of water plus the weight of the frame. But nobody seems to worry about the weight when they put it in the middle of their room on the second floor! I think it should be fine!
