Another "will my floor support" question, 265 Gallon

[Pharaoh]

I do beleive he will have used that as an exmple of a single joist floor being able to take the weight without collapsing.

I did say he was clear that he would double up on the joists AND support it from below to prevent sagging if you read my post,,

I'm clarifying the fact that floors are not designed to hold heavy weight on a constant basis. Most loading specs are noted in two different manners; static and dynamic loads. The goal here is to make sure all the information portrayed is accurate. Making comparisons without providing the factual data can lead people in the wrong direction. I'm not eluding to the fact that the engineer was incorrect, we just have to be careful what we say or it could be taken the wrong way.

Fair play, didnt consider it being mis-interpreted by other members, the op seems quite savvy and i thought i was quite specific, but hey, didnt consider people skimming through for fast answers!

Sorry i was not as accurate in my post as i could have been, will pay more attention with such posts in future
