I am considering setting up a 120g tank for my home office. My main concern, and from my research its super rare, is the tank bursting over night and destroying my house. The floor in that room has a slight slope and it may be hard to get the tank perfectly level, and Im not sure if that would make it more likely to burst. Also, if it does burst, in the basement below, under the tank and a few feet to the right, is the circuit box for my house. Not sure if dumping tons of water on that will cause a fire. I know i need to reinforce the floor under the tank if I decide to do this, but any opinion on my other concners?
 
It's probably best to get advice from a builder or structural engineer. It might cost you a few dollars but will be cheaper than a burst tank.
If you spend a bit of money doing a proper set up at the start the money will be worth the peace of mind later on.
