I'd hate to try to build that into an exisiting floor... is this a basement or a solid ciment slab?

its an elevated house. hence the stairs to our front and back door. underneath is stilts, support means, and open space.

my floor tank is continuous, if u look at the design u can see that it runs under the doors and furniture and it guides along the walls. pluss its got split passageways so the aro doesn't have to always turn left, left, left, left, left, left... lol and they all meet up.

I think you should just put one neon tetra in it :)
Every day for feeding, you'd spend an hour trying to find it :naughty:

Which means that you have floor joists... which means this type of thing can't happen unless you built a subfloor above the current

if i bolt the fiberglass (whatever material) canal around the beams and as long as it doesnt interfere with the support it would work i think. the cannal itself will be stronger than wood and bolted to existing beams. then you just tear up the beams between the canal that are above it and it will keep the floor from parting.

Clearly you have 0 construction experience :D If you tear out the "beams" your living room will drop to the ground below the house :D LOL

im talking about the floor beams not the support beams. hence your house doesn't fall apart if u dropped a bowling ball through it. if you bolt the fiberglass canals TO THE FLOOR first. (imagine bolting very strong and large rain gutters under the house), then saw off/cut out the wooden planks between the opening of the gutter AFTER it is already bolted to the rest of the floor (keeping them together). we will not remove any of the support beams or joists under the house. just cutting around the open floor itself.

thnks columbian :)
 
btw nobody said you couldn't put support beams under the canals ;)
