You have a large footprint (8'x4') of tank, ie: nicely distributed over a large surface area.
In fact you have less weight/foot than I do with my 210.

For mine I did exactly what you described; sistering, bolting, plus added beam.
Here's my build thread if your interested:

As for the supports in dirt, I used 4' x 12" tubes of concrete:

Wow! That is a very profesional looking job. I have to think you went a little crazy digging those footing holes, the rest of your house's foundation probably isn't dug out near that much...
