By "structure" I meant is it a house, condo, duplex, etc? Only 7 years old, don't think you'll have any trouble. The tank isn't that big (volume-wise), and it's spread over 6 feet long.

I suggested his to someone else on here recently: if you're concerned, build a stand that's bigger than the tank so you can spread the load over 3 joists instead of just two.

What an awesome looking tank! I think I'm going to pull the trigger. I'll just keep an eye on the level of my tank. Thanks again

So after doing some research on my house, turns out my tank sits perpendicular to my floor joists. So I guess I can go bigger then 110gallon now😁😁now the tough part, convincing the wife😬😜
