I have a 135G tank and i'm trying to figure out if my floor can take the weight.

floor joist are 7" with a 16" span

Here are a couple of images



 
yeh
 
That appears to be a load bearing wall you've got it near, right? It looks like it would be fine to me too. I would have someone watch underneith while it's being filled up and watch it for a few months for sagging. If anything would happen to it it would probably happen over time.

Definitely not!!!
So play it safe and just send that tank to me...:drool: :grinno:

You should be fine, especially if the tank is run across, rather than parallel to the floor joists.
