Putting 60 gallon cube tank in upper floor of building and am worried about it falling thru. I will put it in the corner area of building where the two exterior walls meet. Any advice to doing this would be appreciated.

It is impossible to answer this here unless you know exactly what the construction is. its about 700 LBs once you get the stand, equipment, water, etc. Most likely it would be fine. Is it a private house? An Apartment? An old/ new building? Do you own/Rent? (some rental units prohibit it).Putting 60 gallon cube tank in upper floor of building and am worried about it falling thru.

Actually its going to my parents place, moving to another state and bought them a tank to make an easy move from my tank to the cube. The have a pretty new home that seems very well built.It is impossible to answer this here unless you know exactly what the construction is. its about 700 LBs once you get the stand, equipment, water, etc. Most likely it would be fine.

I might (if possible) ask your vendor (where you're getting the tank) to check it out. One issue is that as compared to, for example, a 50 gallon long tank, the weight will be distributed more closely together.
I'm sure an architect or builder here can easily answer this question - based on the answers to the questions I posed above. Good luck with your tank!
