It would only work if the second floor was built for heavy loads. Typically, that would be a bad idea.

nope but i might want to get an inspector but the house seems very sturdy and supported but what do you guys think should i just put it down stairs my eighty five gallon is uppstairs and there are no problems but theres a big difference between 85 and 300 gallons what do you guys think
