The best thing you can do in this situation is decide on the tank you want, figure out the total weight and keep it a secret to yourself. Call up for a free estimate ( someone you can trust ) and have them let you know what they feel is the most weight YOUR floor will support. Also ask them what they charge to reinforce the floor.

Meanwhile, a 90 would be fine, but I suggest that is run perpendicular to the floor joists and make sure the stand is on the joists not mid span. Everyone's house is different, so best check before a 1200lbs tank comes down on someone. JMO
