I am putting in an 180 gallon (2x6) aquarium with a 55 gallon sump in my office. It will weigh approximately 2500 lbs.
Under the back of the tank is a concrete wall supporting one end of the floor joists, which span 8 feet to a 2x10 beam through the center of the room. The floor joists are 2x8, and run perpendicular to the aquarium. They are spaced 12" on center (i asked the builder to make them closer than 16).
Am I OK as is? Or is more support needed?
