I think it would capture 4 joists. Using 72” inches in 6 feet and 16” on center joists

They are an oddball size, 2x9 exactly..as most 2x10s I’ve seen are actually 9.25 when measured..however the tank will be located almost immediately on top of the footer. From footer to closest beam is a span of 8 feet. Beam is supported by concrete pads and if I remember 8 inch blocks..or 10s I...

Yea what i was getting at was sitting on the subfloor the subfloor itself is transferring that weight to the joists which would be distributed evenly between the width of the tank as the joists are running perpendicular to the length of the tank..sitting on 2 long boards wouldn't change how the...

I’m so anxious about this damn thing unloading it felt like it had feet but I was carrying it on the sides and didn’t notice the front and back 6 foot sections are even. like I said the tank will be running across the joists damn near right ontop of the...

Here’s a pic or two. It appears the front and the back are a flat piece and the sides float about a 16th off.

Sadly Upon close inspection however it does have feet on each corner about half an inch longer. I actually though it was a solid base. I’ve kicked around the idea of being lazy and just sitting the tank on those extra large furniture sliders to spread the footprint out a little. Or just try to...

So in petsmart today they had a sale on a 125gal and stand for 399. I couldn’t pass it up. And I had planned on needing to reinforce my joists with some sister boards and a few beam jacks as I hadn’t been in the crawl space in a long time. This is what I find. And I’m excited as it looks like I...
