Do you think my apartment floors can handle a 75 gallon tank? im on the 3rd floor of the building, i just wanna test fill it to see if it leaks before i move into my new house. I have hardwood floors and the ones in my room creek when i walk over them, any suggestions? my tenant is sick so i cant contact him for a while.

Yes, are you scared when three of your buddies sit on your couch at the same time? Your 75 will be fine.

ever heard that saying force it and if it breaks it needed replacing anyways? lol thats not the exact saying but its kinda rue in this case if your floor breaks after a day or two or a week after the tank has been filled then it needed replacing anyways. if youre really nervous just move everything around to where its only the tank for a good amount space and place it on an outside wall or even better caddy corner it to two outside walls
