Hey guys! New here so I’m hoping I’m posting in the correct spot. I wanted to share some photos of my planned install of my Nyos Opus G2 440 aquarium. The tank itself is 100 gallons with about a 20 gallon sump below. My floor sits on engineered trusses but I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts at to whether the reinforcement I did would be enough to support the weight. I know we all aren’t structural engineers here but I still wanted to get your thoughts. In the photo you’ll see 4 14,000lb rated floor jacks that I’ve leveled on concrete piers. The series closest to the wall are two laminated 5 foot 2x12’s while the single jack points are 20 inch laminated 2x12 rectangles to fill some more space with support (room was limited due to the venting). All contact points are supported with squash blocks between the support and subfloor. The last photo is above the floor where I plan to place the tank itself.
Does this seem good to go? Appreciate the input!
