well im moving back to my grandparents wed and im only able my 112 so im just worried bout weight issue. house was built in 1890 or 1900 so over a 100 years old. floor held my 75 just well when i lived here before, so should i be worried about weight issue? or am i overreacting? tank s goin in a corner diagnal way where the support wood parts are ( cant remember the name of it ) so ya need input.
is there much diff in weight b/w a 75 and a 112?

At least 350Lbs different. You need the tank to be on an OUTSIDE wall of the house going in the opposite direction as the floor supports. Diagonal is a bad idea. If an outside wall isn't an option try to abut the main support beam that runs down the center.
i stll got a crap ton of wood to stack done there and im moving in on wed....... dang cousin and my cousin stacked the wood all wrong so now i have to redo it to be able to get the support beam and pole up.........................

Coming from a carpenter, I couldn't have said it better. And, being it is a 100 year old house, I would make sure the sill plate and joists are in good condition as well. If the wood is soft or already showing reflection, I would stiffen them up by sistering them with new lumber.
