i use 10 pounds per gallon that allows the weight of the water 8.3 lbs per gallon and 1.7lbs of substrate per gallon-Anne

its just easier to figure out 10 pounds V. 8.328

Same here. I know it's roughly 8+lbs but It's eaiser to calculate and it's better to be safe than sorry. Then you also need to figure out the weight of substarte and decorations, the stand/cabinet and the tank itself.
 
I would renforse the floor before you do any thing I new a guy who had a custom 300 gallon on the second floor well one day he came home from work when he walked into his fish room he noticed his base boards were 4 inches below were they were then he heard a big crack and the front of his tank blew out :cry:
