75 or 90 in a trailer

[dalilgriffith]

So, I wasn’t sure where to post this, but we can try here. I recently was gifted a stand for a 75/90/110 tank. My plan was to get a 90. However, I live in a single wide mobile home. I already planned to put the tank over the joists, but at that weight, do you guys think I need to bolster the rafters with cinder blocks?

Here is an old discussion about this. Some stated that putting the tank over the joists is sufficient, others still recommend bracing with cinder blocks. Personally, I would add the cinder blocks just to be cautious.

After looking around, I was able to find six cinder block and some two by sixes to reinforce the floor joists. Cost me 10 bucks for peace of mind.
