Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Any structural engineers?
Planning to put a fish tank in. It's gonna be roughly 300 gallons. Looking at 2500-2600 lbs with water. I want it on my main floor and will be against a wall which will be perpendicular with the floor joists. Will I still need additional support? Tank is 8 ft long. 2.5 ft wide.
Only if the fish decide to jump
I would reinforce without question.
Tho it will make me a begger in the streets burn it if you must
John Adams to George Washington
130 LBS per square foot in just water weight alone. Add more for rocks, pumps, tank etc.
Salt or fresh? Yknow you would prefer a 300Deep Dimension. Have one for sale ^_^
It's a very hard question without inspecting the actual lay out and construction under the floor. One house may be fine perpendicular but another not. I was lucky enough for the space to be right near the concrete walls and a very short span to the first steel beam. Should have been fine. As cheap as it was with easy access still did a 4x4 and 2 steel columns just to be on the safe side. (Had a engineer type person at local wood supply dealer run some rough calculations.)
Somethings fishy with this thread......
