I live in a 91 manufactured home (trailer).I plan on puttin a 180 gallon in my kitchen .the floor joices are spaced 16 in apart and they are 2x6.There is also a large black beam under those goin across which what i saw when looked under my trailer.the beam was about 3ft from the wall.my ? is would my floor hold the tank if i put it going across the floor joices.i couldnt really seeing the difference than putting a 180 upstairs in a house.

Yeah as long as it goes across for the most part any house will hold.. Currently I am temporarily living in a crap old rotting trailer haha but its holding my 75 or so gallon with no problems.

It should be ok, as long as its across the joists. Maybe get it as close to on top of that beam as you can. If it won't be on top of the beam, you might think about adding support under the joists.

Personally, I don't think you'll need any added support, but sometimes its better to be safe than sorry.
