Difference... Water bed is 4ft by 8ft , 100g is 6ft by 2ft. I would get a contractor and see if you need to brace the floor up. Better safe and spend 200 now instead of having the tank end up on the first floor.
HELL!!!! yes!! my house is 40 years old and i have a 120 gallon on the second floor.
you should put the tank against a load bearing wall though. to keep it simple put the tank on a wall that has the opposite face on the outside of the house.
or u can look at ur roof in ur attic and see which ways the joists and beams are running.

You should be fine if the house is not from the dark ages. There is another thread somewhere with someone wanting to use a 180gal and an expert went into great depth about it all. There was a lot of things that make a difference but as it is near the beam it makes it a good spot.
