The deal here is not if it will support....but whether it will sag. I had a
70 gal that I set up and it was level with a spirit level. This was also
upstairs. After 6 months the floor had sagged, and the tank with it.
Styrofoam helps, but on a large tank the problem is cracking from a sudden
bump or other incident. This becomes more likely with a larger heavier
tank.

Just an extra 2 cents. If you really wanted to be sure you could look it up
in just about any do it yourself construction book. Building a deck would
be
a good one. Usually it will list different loads and what kind of support
you will need.

Well a water bed is spread out over at least a 4 x 6 or 6 x 6 area, a tank
is only in a 11/2 x 6 or 2 x 4 area, or similar. Puts alot more lbs per
square foot in a small area.
