Anyone running this size that can show me their reinforced flooring? This is gonna be against a wall but runs parallel on 2 engineering joists. Was thinking to jack it up with some 4x4 with a wooden beam running perpendicular to the joists.
 
One Jack post under each of the joists @ center of tank should be plenty of support, provided that the joists are solid 2x10s. If you have engineered i joists perhaps reinforcing them with lumber would be necessary.
 
Two choices:

1) hire a professional to tell you how to reinforce for your exact situation.

2) get really good insurance.
