Another "Is my floor strong enough to hold my Tank" thread.

Pre-stressed reinforced concrete... need I say more?

If it were me, and I could fit it through the doors I'd feel comfortable with a thousand gallons...

Really?!?!?

So I guess you can tell by the way it looks on the outside?
If so, cool.
That's the same way bridges are made, I see them laying that stuff out on the road all the time.
Thanks Zennzzo, I feel a little better now.
Also- do you have any personal experience with construction? Just wondering.
Thanx!

actually if thats underneath the floor and that beam is steel and just caked with concrete or something i would just put it near that beam. it would never collapse. also im currently building a concrete poured floor over top a basement and it is rated to hold a car. but then again there are joists 2ft on center through the whole thing....i would say if that beam is steel i beam and is laying in or on top of the outer foundation(like it should) then just put the tank above that anywhere and it should never collapse.
