So, when we built our house I designed one room to be the reef tank display on our main floor above the unfinished basement.
I told the builder we plan on keeping a large aquarium in that room and they put in extra support including what looks like sistered joists and double joist beams. There is also a load bearing beam just behind the tank as well. In the attached picture the tank sits about 3 feet in front of the support beam you see perpendicular to the joists.
With this additional support, realistically, what size tank can I put in that spot?
Thanks for your help!
