Like to have some thoughts on my floor. I am looking at a 120 gallon. Where I want to set it up is on a interior wall in the living room. I think I will be able to sit across 4 joists. The basement is finished so I can't add anyone support under it. The joist are 2 x 7 that sit on a steel been. I have included a pic from what I can see. The tank will be sitting about 1 foot to the right of beem

Not sure if you've looked through this thread but you may find and answer there. Thorough discussion regarding floor supports. I would also suggest posting this question in that forum or maybe a #mods will move it for you.

No issues there! Good luck with the build.
