HI so I finally got my 150 gallon aquarium set up put in place without adding my fish and water I wanted to know wheather or not I should add a floor jack or if it's okay my home was built in the 80s it's a two story home with a basement underneath it would not be extremely difficult for me to add a floor jack there about 50 bucks at hd but I really don't know how that works and how it's needs to be put what should I do?

more info with the pictures is needed.

If tank is on an exterior wall you will be fine.

The tank is almost directly underneath the metal beam in the picture it's not under a exterior wall though so do you think that's okay?

If the tank is above the beam your fine.

The stand was designed to support the tank. If it's made with particle board just be careful with water spills.

On another note Matt12345678 don't remove the Barbie car or the whole setup may come crashing down into the basement.

WOW a 330 gallon I always wanted to get a 300 gallon marineland deep dimension aquarium problem is there very expensive and I can just imagine how heavy the 330 would be my 150 was extremely heavy to me at least to lift with 2 other people.

Yeah that's the best place in the whole house to put stuff that you think is important but really is never going to be used again.
