support

I know most homes will support a waterbed. Do I need floor support for a 210gal aquarium/ The Tank fo the Month showed tons of support columns in their basement.

210 X 8 = 1680
250 aquarium
250 stand

2200 lbs on 18 square feet.0....

The way the home is built will depend on how much supporting if any you need to do. How old is the home? How is the floor built? What size joists are used? How far apart are they spaces? Is the tank going to be on the first floor? If you can get a pic of the underside of the floor that will also help.
