180 on second floor

[jesse alex ethier]

I was wondering if I could put a 180 on a second floor condo in place of my 150 gallon system

For 30 gallon more, you are adding 240 lbs, basically a strong dude standing on the floor. It should not be a problem.

No problem at all, the larger footprint will distribute the weight even better.

My advice is to be sure the tank runs perpendicular to the floor joists, and to put the back as close to a load bearing wall (or floor beam) as possible.
