Help, I purchased a 75 aio aquarium but did not think about the total weight strain. New aquarium is sitting in my garage because I don’t know if it’s safe to install in our 2nd story townhome. Townhome was built in 2024 in OC California and its frame is made out of wood. Can anyone tell me if they have any similar set up, or advice? Would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
 
as long as the woods thickness is 2" you should be fine. you can always screw it into the wall to make sure there is no rocking
 
Locate your aquarium as close as possible to a load bearing wall on the second floor. If you are unsure of subfloor construction, then talk with a local building contractor.
