How heavy are these things?

Well not to hijack.
My house is 8yrs old and I plan on putting a 225G with 1 1/2" steel stand on my main floor. Sump is in basement. The spot is kind of like a bay window, like where a kitchen hutch would go. I have a 144G there right now. Will I be ok? It is a weight bearing wall. Filled should be about 2300lbs

I am talking about getting him a Red Sea Max 65g. Footprint approx 38" wide by 18" deep.

Just get a piece of plywood to fit under it. Put it in place. Add a bit of water so you can level it out perfectly. You can always let it sit for a few days like that incase the carpet fibers settle or something... who knows... Then start it up. You will be fine with that size of tank in your house. People have much much larger in similar situations.
