I have my 125 in my mobile home and everyone has said it will be fine. I was just wondering if anyone has any tanks larger than a 55 gal in a mobile and if so what adjustments have you made to flooring or supports underneath? We have done nothing yet and I'm just wondering if we should?

Ok thats about half of mine.... I'll just pray HAAAAAAAA Did you put anything under it for support? Mines a 125 with stand, and I plan on putting a 40 gal sump underneath....
