Well you could always go longer with it say 84"- 96" then your weight is stretched over a longer siplay alot easy to place the weight too.
96x15x15 equals 94 gals

I thought about going longer than 5' but i could always go 6' and than drop the tank size down to like you suggested but i want it at least 20" wide. The guys on RC reccomended having an engineer come over which probably wouldn't happen. I am going to start building the stand once school is done on the 6th And this one I want to skinned and look amazing before the tank goes on.

I might have to re-consider staying around the 60gal mark. I'm just affraid of coming home with the ability to wave at josh from the front door

You think he might view the wave as some sort of invitation? I'm confused.

Oh my.. is that the metaphor the kids are using these days? Man it is hard to keep up with the street lingo these days..

Have fun with your orgy- er.. I mean, "huge".

Will your tank be up against the wall on a short side? Or will it be smack dab in the middle? I would agree that 100gallons isn't that heavy for a floor to support. Someone around here has a 230g as a room divider on their main floor without any extra floor support :-)
