Passed on the 360. Just gonna get a second 180 and put in the dining room. Wife wouldn’t let me kick the kid out.
A 180 would be pushing it too without supports. The main idea is to run it parallel to the joists and make sure to put it against a load bearing wall. Even with that, I would personally add some type of support for anything over 100 gallons...

I would the tank longways perpendicular to the joists, right next to a load bearing wall. Putting it parallel would be putting all the weight on one or two joists...
Yes, for sure. that is what I meant, I just misspoke.
