Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

That's one of the many reasons I'll never live on a slab house. I work a guy that had a leak in an old house of his when he lived in Georgia. He ended up renting a Jack hammer, chiseling up his bedroom floor, fixing the pipe and pouring concrete back in, then redoing the floors.

I'll stick with a crawlspace, thank you. I can see all my pipes until it goes out the house to the septic, and that's a 15' run a foot under ground. Easily enough to dig up.

But on the flip side, especially with this hobby there are some big upsides to a slab. I’m considering a 300 gallon down the road and I have no concern of the floor strength.

+1 very true.

I have a slab. The main water line busted 3 years ago. I cheated and ran Pex up the garage wall into the attic. Every room in the house except one would have had to be jackhammered otherwise.

Yea, I'd have to get some screw jacks to support the weight on the joists when I go bigger.

Going that big, however big it may be, you may want to sister in some additional support on the joists too.

Here is the 55 version of what I got for my 40b. It seems very study, and you can’t beat the price. Just an option if you don’t wanna get overly handy lol.

I want to get handy he doesn't want to wait for my handy work. He is strongly leaning toward the Brooklyn stand
