I have been reading up on TJI joists (i-beam joists) and it seems the general consensis is that it will hold. If I go with the 48"x24"x16" I should have anything to worry about. As for the stand, after taking your guys advice Its probably going to be 26" wide with a base to distribute the weight (thanks for the idea btw, very useful). At that size of a tank, I haven't read of any issues at only 80 gals. Than with an additional 20ish in the sump. Than again i am going to be measuring and taping off how it will sit in the house so the size isn't 100% confirmed, really i just want more area for corals to mount. having both long sides should make me a happy camper either way.
