So I spoke to the Hub last night. He is adamant about the tank not going in the basement, even after I liquored him up a little. So I need to pick a new spot in the front room (main level) that will work. Before I spend too much time redesigning the layout of that room, I wanted to double check. If I put the tank perpendicular to the way the floor joists run, do I have to worry about the size/weight if I am not adding additonal support post below it in the basement.
