[Jonathan.Grego]

Getting a cade 1500s2 170 gallons iv had a prostar90 v2 80 gallons where i want to put the tank the only issue is the tank would sit on only one floor joist since they are ran the opposite way its going against the wall that leads outside and my basement is all concrete would i be fine adding a few floor jacks to help support it ?

Like this? Pro-Star 230g directly above.
This is right under the tanks front edge.
At the back in a concrete wall.
Better safe than sorry.

I also went with better safe than sorry. I think you're probably fine, but if you can add some structure then you wont have to worry.

Everytime somone asks this I say the same thing.

Any advice you receive on here is worth exactly what you paid for it ....

If in doubt, and you must be to ask the question in the first place, engage a structural engineer to provide a written opinion.

It's worth it not only for peace of mind, but if anything goes wrong you will have recourse with your insurance.
