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.

Anyone see this on brs? lol
 
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.

You're such a rebel!

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.
 
Love them!

I love them too. Recently the boys in 5th grade discovered them. Lol. You should have seen the look on Andrew's face when I knew all the words. Horror!
