If they were both spanning 3 or more joists I do not think it would be an issue.

I think the floor are support by 2X6 at least. Our house we use 2X10 but who know what apartment building use. You need to spread the ank out over several suppoet beam if possible. Don't use those metal stands where the whole tank weight bear by the four leg on the floor. I would like to think that the floor should bear the weight of a 120 g tank without problem

Digging through this old thread since I'm looking into the same thing for my 3rd floor condo. Did you go with the 120G?

Not a problem at all putting a 120g in your 3rd floor apartment.
Enjoy..
