water weighs 8.34lbs per gallon, so the water will weigh around 1,800lbs, plus decor and substrate, I'm guessing the tank only weighs around 100-200lbs (my glass 220 weighs 350lbs empty).

figure 2500lbs, just cause i said so.

I would say the tank itself is not that bad maybe like 150 - 200. I agree with he 2500lbs

Depends on a lot. Are you positioning it near the outside wall or in the center? Parallel or perpendicular to the joists? How old is the house? What kind of stand?

the tank would be in the center.. it's parallel... the house is OLD LOL look like 1800's...the stand is made out of 2x4.......
