Currently, my largest tank sits against a wall where the beams are perpendicular to the tank. But I am unhappy with the tank location; it would look better up against the back wall of the room. Unfortunately, this means the tank will be parallel to the beams, and will only have (2) 2x8 beams supporting it. So I want to reinforce the floor before moving the tank.
I've calculated the weight to be not more than 3000 pounds.
I was thinking about using 6 of these, 3 on each 2x8 instead:
Each jack is rated at 16,000 pounds, so ONE would be enough in terms of weight.
I thought six; 3 on each beam under the tank.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Dom
