I am considering buying a 180 gallon tank. I am going to put it in my room on the main floor of my house. Will I need to worry about the floor holding the weight of this tank?
 
Hello; here is the web address of an article that talks about the issue.

My take is that the question can only be answered by someone with knowledge of structure actually having a look to see what you have and what condition it is in.

A 180 gallon may weigh from 1800 to over 2100 pounds with stand, substrate and all equipment.
