Hello; I have not read of a tank actually falling thru a floor in the 2+ years I have been following this forum. I have seen threads where damage from heavy tanks was posted. So if actually falling thru the floor is the measure, then I do not know of it happening.
but there is a member on here who documented their 150g that sagged their floors 1/4" over 2 years.
that is scary. that floor was on the way to failure eventually.
can't remember who the member was. anyone??

My floor joists are only 2x6"s. I had a 70G setup that caused noticeable sagging of the floor, so I moved the tank into the garage (concrete slab). It is a very stubby tank, (28"L x 24"W x 25" H) so the weight was really concentrated in one area.
Having said that, I also had a 270G (6x3x2) setup on a second story with floor joists that were 2x10"s and I didn't have any problems at all.
It really all depends on the construction of your floors.

Dan likes to laugh about this when he comes over and sees the tanks I have on my floors...

Yep.
This guy lives in a little house perched on the side of a cliff. It is filled practically wall-to-wall with monster tanks. If ever a floor was to collapse it would be his, but it still hasn't happened....
