Hey I have a 90 gal that I am trying to set up. The problem is I am not sure where to put it. So I ask does placement matter?

IMO......away from windows......somewhere where you have enough support to hold that much weight....just my opinion tho...

Away from strong vibrations given off from going up and down stairs, windows and vents to avoid temperature swings, and natural sunlight. Look for a great display place that is also away from high traffic areas.

Cathic is rite on all fronts, but I will add....that if you're placing the tank upstairs, try to place it in a corner if possible.Corners are usually the strongest supported areas upstairs.

I think the biggest thing is to make sure that it runs perpendicular to the floor joists and not parallel. I'd also try to avoid prolonged direct sunlight from windows as well

It wasn't me!
Set it up so as not to get direct natural sunlight. Cathic pretty much said it all as far as answering your question.

I use to be that way over my husbands fish tank and then I got into it. Now he isnt allowed to touch my tank. Dont worry she will convert eventually

Does having it on an outside wall make a difference?

How well insulated the house is will make a big difference for outside vs interior walls. If the house is generally warm in the winter it won't make a huge difference. I would go interior wall if possible but if its not don't sweat it. You can oversize your heaters to compensate IMO.
