Well i believe this is as good as it gets when it comes to flooring... This is the support under my house. right where the tank is going to go.. Infact the middle of the tank will be right over the top of the middle brace that goes all the way across my house... The tank will sit "T" ing it off..

Check it out let me know your thoughts...

These are 2x10's for and that is what my whole floor support consists of :)

This is wehre my 250 will sit.. I really don't see the need for more support.. Do you..?

alright, i know you think youre good on the floor issure, and i assure you, you are. but you're overall foundation support may be a different issue.

i move mobile homes and do foundation repair for a living, and from the runners that those peirs are sitting on, i wouldnt feel to overly comfortable about those. depending how deep the concrete goes and how dense the dirt is, and how far they are spaced apart will tell you how much they can actually support, but i'd be more concerned with the enitre leveling of the house, after a few years of weight settleing the house will most deffinatly shift and sink a little in that spot.

so, the floor should be fine, but if you notice doors getting difficult to lock and close, and cabinets that dont close all the way, you may consider calling in a expert to reinforce your foundation, and re-level your house.
