I've got a 180 gal 72x24x24 above my garage as well, I put a telepost under the joist under my tank. It was around $70 at HD. I put it in right before adding water to my tank. No problems at all, great for peace of mind.

Since you're worried, get that engineering report, (might PM GreenSpottedPuffer if he'll give you an idea of cost, since he had it done) and figure how to stay big or you'll be kicking yourself later that you didn't.
Can you double up the first joist, expensive but install a steel beam?

Not sure what teleposts are. Adding more 2x6 studs to the that exterior wall shouldn't be a problem. Do you think strengthening that wall alone will increase the overall load capacity, or would I have to upgrade surrounding walls as well. The opposing wall is 24 ft away, don't think it would help much? Thoughts?
