125 location

[metallica21156]

My question is if I will need extra support. The tank is going to be sitting parallel on the joists. However the back side of the tank is 10" from a main support joist, then the left side is 12" from a block wall. Will this be enough or do i need more? Entire joist span is 13'.

I will also have a 30 gal sump possibly later a 40 under the tank. The stand is wood.

From more research i found out the tank i was told was a 125 is actually a 170. So im definitely adding support. My question is in which way. Would 3 4x4s with a column in the middle of each be enough or should i build a frame under where the tank is and run 6 posts down. This area is above a 4' crawl with a concrete floor.
