Hey everyone. Ive been wondering about weight on my floor. I live in an old house.. the only space in the house I have for tanks is on the 2nd floor in a bedroom. I have a 90 gallon and a 29 gallon side by side on the inside wall of the room. The other wall is an outside wall. The house doesnt seem to sturdy. I want to do a bigger tank but kind of scared too. Is the outside wall safer or the inside wall? And ive never actually heard of a tank going through the floor. Has anyone seen or heard of it happening? What do you guys think? Should I not bother with a bigger tank? Any info or advice is greatly appreciated thanks guys!

I heard of 1200 gallon shark tank fall through an office building.
 
Yea I wouldn't do it. A 125 gallon tank weight 1600 plus. I wouldn't want to put that on a second floor. .

I think it could work. depends on supports tho
 
Put it on the first floor and support the floor with adjustable Lally columns in the basement. Then you could do a big tank.
