Yes. I poured a new 4" ish slab on top of an existing 4-6" ish slab, which sits on top of a 24" footer. So around 32-34" of solid concrete under it.

Ok Thanks I Am Still Unsure What I might Do. Was Thinking of putting shower drain in the bottom then pouring the floor for quick draining the tank and cleaning or repairs if nessary. it would be drain and then suction pipes to clean the bottom up and then bread trays they river roack to hide it all
 
Im positive this was asked before but how much sanitred did you use? how much did it cost per unit? whats a unit? what color is the stuff you bought? :)

I would imagine its fairly cheep, considering they expect people to paint > oylmpic sized pools with the stuff...

There Was Some Similar To This At Home Depot And It was $100 For A 5 Gllon Pail
 
I believe you are referring to Dryloc, maybe not. But dryloc is a sealant, while Sanitred appears to be a rubberized coating, which is more reliable under pressure.
