What type of joists - 2x6, 2x8 ? How far apart are they? Capturing more joists is the way to go if you can. From the supporting wall how far do they run until the next support?

They are an oddball size, 2x9 exactly..as most 2x10s Iāve 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 donāt remember. I canāt believe I didnāt measure what the width on center was apart..I imagine standard building practice of 16 on center..What type of joists - 2x6, 2x8 ? How far apart are they?
