Well right now i currently have a 90 on one wall and on another wall i have a 55 with a 35 underneath all in my living room in my apartment. It is a building i live in. Im buying a 125 on wed and i need to know if i eliminate the 55 and 35 if it would be okay to put the 125 there.
 
yes I think so also. My only concern is not to concentrate all your tanks in one small area - never know about the load - the floor's bearing load is high but with so much water weight in a small area - don't want to invoke murphy's law...

when I bought my 72 bowfront off CL & picked up, it was in a 3BR apt coop. He had a beautiful 125gal. angel tank set up in his living room (instead of a tv/wall unit) & opposite diagonally was the 72gal. bow. He also had a 55gal. in his bedroom (his wife competes with the tank for affection!) & a 125gal. & a 60gal in his spare bedroom along with fry tanks. so the weight distribution was well thought out (never know in these old 50-60 yr old bldgs!).

in your case as long as they are opposite & not juxtapose! have fun!
 
I kept a 125 in my apartment secound floor before I got my house and it was fine. The apartment was built in 1963. I was there in 2003.
