Tank weight and placement

[AlexAsselin]

Hey everyone,

I am I'm the process of upgrading from a 55gal rimless with HOB filter and protein skimmer to a 120gal with at 40 gal sump. Sitting on a wood frame.

My first question is. I have the tank set up on the main floor with a basement underneath. The house is about 10 years old, so relatively new. With out hiring an engineer. Will it be fine where it is or is it too much weight? The tank is 4' wide and spanning across multiple floor joists.

You may want to brace it underneath, as floor loads tend to be "X" amount of lbs/sq ft, depending on the joist size and type (typical lumber or TJI).
