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

90 gal is a great size for a tank btw . a 120 it much better with the 24" depth
