i have a few concerns i already have a 90 gall with about 300pounds of rock i am upgarding to the 175 bowfront but i am worried because i live on the 3rd florr the building is about 5 years old and it has a 6 inch concrete floor....the stand is 8 feet long and a little less the 3 feet wide i am expecting for total weight of 2500 pounds complete set up....will the floor hold is my worries ive been reading on google and they say every square feet can hold up to 2000 pounds will i be fine or is this gonna be a bad idea?

To settle your worries apartment buildings as well as condo building codes enforce codes on construction of floor plans to withstand a weight of 10,000 pounds. Especially with 6 inches of concrete I would not worry at all about that caving in. I know people that have a 300 gallon on a third floor unit that is built with standard floor joists.
