ok i'll hae to get someone to one and take a look i guess or get a smaller tank !

If the joists are perpendiclar (90°) to the tank's long length you have no concerns and specially none if going against an outside wall. I've got a 145g across a few joists midway between beams and no issues.

Your tank will be just fine with its long side running perpendicular to the floor joists and being against the outside wall of your house. Go back and read what I posted for you again!!!

If you REALLY don't believe me - Home Hardware has people in the contractor's part of the store that use AutoCAD to design joists/beams/etc. Any place that sells joists and beams will have an AutoCAD person. Anyone who knows AutoCAD can tell someone if they need to reinforce their floors. You don't need an engineer.
