When I go pick up the new 220 tank and get a stand should I be worried about the weight of it filled with water and rocks on my floor ?
This house is a year old and I don't want it crashing through lol I'm going to lose sleep I can see it =p asherah

I would be worried if it isn't on a load bearing wall or on a concrete floor.

Call an structural engineer to come take a look, I would if I was out there.

It's not on a cement floor it's the main floor of the house
I hae no idea if its a load bearing area Its going to be on the far wall of the livingroom It's the wall that is against the outside asherah

When I had a 170 gal on the main floor that wasn't over a load bearing wall I added two teleposts and a beam under it in the basement based on the advice of a structural engineer.
