first off you have to level the stand and should do so on all tanks to prevenr stress on the seams.
You should try to find out which way your floor joist run and place the tank perpendicular to them as to catch more then 1 joist. Joist usually run the short way in a building
make sure your floor is strong if not u may wany to put a 3/4 " plywood under to strenghten the floor.
One more trick is to put a 3/4 "strofoam board under the tank(between the tank and the stand) this will take up any imperfections in the floor. I do this with all my large tanks over 40 gal.
