at what size do I have to brace the floor?

[prickles]

Hello all,

I have a traditional 1950's house with probably a 3-4" concrete slab. If I want to go to a 3x10x3 tank, should i saw cut the slab, epoxy in rebar around the edges of the hole, and put a 2 foot rebar reinforced footer under where I want to put the new tank or leave it the way it is? I think that would be just shy of 600g.

thanks!

What did your consulting structural engineer recommend? (hint, hint)

Your filled tank will weigh app 5722 pounds. I would consult a professional.
