Not a warning per se just my current story. I only have about 35 gallons on my floor. It's an older townhouse with 2x8 floor joists not the engineered ones. I could see the deflection downstairs! Tank bounced very badly too and over time I'm sure it would have gotten worse. I added a jackpost underneth and it has helped. I know I wouldn't place a 120 on my floor but generally I think you're ok (maybe bouncing as you walk by).

It is against a bearing wall
It will be sitting on Hardwood flooring and will be against 1 wall (middle of the room). It is a bearing wall but the bottom floor is finished and I can't see the joists. Anyway to know where they are?
House is only 10 years old.

Get as close to exterior walls and load bearing walls as possible. The ideal location would be in the corner of two exterior walls. Also make sure it sits perpindicular to the floor joists and it is hitting as many joists as possible. I have my 150 against 1 exterior and one load bearing wall, it hasn't gone through the floor yet.
