90 gallons … I would consider building a small closet in the basement with the walls to support the weight from above .Hi All, I have a tank I want to setup, roughly 90 total gallons in water volume, including the sump (4 foot long tank). I would like to put it along this wall on the hardwood floor:
Beneath this floor and space is a basement. I have taken a picture and added red lines roughly where tank would be (sitting above)...
Should I not put it here since the joists will be running parallel with tank? Thoughts and opinions would be really appreciated? I can't use floor jacks to add any support because the basement has now been finished since this picture was taken... Thank you!
only suggesting this as I don’t like the look of jack posts in the middle of a room .
Unless you wanted to construct some sort of decorative columns ( which could eventually be in the way if some sort of renovation in the basement were to happen in the future
