65 should be fine I would think any larger and you may have to worry about support. What is directly under the spot you are looking to put the tank?

I've got my 90 in the kitchen, which is directly above my basement. I installed it near the wall so its close to a main support beam (and the base of the wall) and made sure it rested evenly across the cross support beams (running perpindicular to the wall and under the kitchen floor). No problems so far.

I had a 90 gal in a 2nd floor apartment before. I just put it on a load bearing wall and made sure that the tank was across as many joist as possible. Never had any issues.

I had a 90g on the second floor of an apartment as well with no problems, along with a roughly 50g bow front 5 feet away from it.
