My new fish room diary

[Hendre]

Bad day/news.... engineers said 'no no' The current floor can not support the weight of my planned build. Even if I cut the height of the tank to 6ft... still a no no...

Is this the monster tank?

Is this the monster tank?

yes.. 60ft x 20ft x 10ft no no... 60ft x 20ft x 6ft no no

 

[Hendre]

yes.. 60ft x 20ft x 10ft no no... 60ft x 20ft x 6ft no no

What's the next step? Reinforce the floor? Pour more concrete? There's gotta be options? I'm frustrated for you. Good luck...

'No no'? Maybe they need to a go-go. Lol. Just kidding. Foundation is no laughing matter. Good think you're starting from the ground up on this project.

Sorry to hear a bump in the road...

I've been lurking on your threads Vincent. Everything you do is batshit insane. Can't fit the tank you want in your building, buy a new building. Makes perfect sense. Love it.
