Heavy tank

[joshc21]

hey guys i’m putting a 440 gallon tank in my house and with stand plus tank/water/rocks it’s going to be around 5000lbs. the dimensions are 8ftx3ft does anyone know if that is going to be too heavy for the concrete slab in my house? i just don’t want the slab to crack under pressure and cause a very expensive problem. any responses help!

Most homes in my area have at least a 4 inch thick slab. Driveways are usually three inches & built for at least two cars.
I think you are good to go.

My 450 (8×3×2.5) has been sitting on my slab for 9 years no issues
