Fish tank size unstable for living room???

look at this

That's the one I was referring to.

The thing to consider more than just the weight is the weight vs. footprint. An 96x36x18" (LxWxH) will be a lot safer on a wooden floor than an 96x18x36" as the weight will be spread over a larger area. I would have no hesitation setting up the low and wide tank on a second story floor so long as it were positioned next to a load bearing wall and running across the joists, but I would be reluctant to put the tall narrow tank in the same spot without some reinforcing.

You're far braver than I am. My 40g shakes on main floor outside wall perp to joists with finished basement, and it's right perp to the foundation wall to the garage lol. I'm afraid to setup even a 75g anywhere in my home, and it's only 15 years old *sigh*
