Hi folks!
Just got a RedSea Reefer 525 Deluxe (108g with 31g sump) that I want to place here.

It is the second (main) story of the house. I do not think it is a load bearing wall, and I do not have access to see that is under the floor. Door to the right is access to basement With not much info to go on, would you guys have any issues, structural-wise, with it going there?
Thanks!

Pay the money for a engineering consultant to do the calculations for you. They will most likely come back and recommend sistering the joists under pressure + 1 extra on each side of the load & block under the weight directly to remove twisting forces.

The above is based on my consultant paperwork I got for a Red Sea 300XL in a second story office above a garage. Weight was parallel to the joists, but is 40% less weight.
