positioning of floor supports for larger tanks

Rule 37: There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "time to reload."

Twisting is defintly a concern, was there a reason you went with the straps over putting runners between the joists? and under load did you notice any shifting with the straps as load was added?

I had the straps left over after building my garage and thought they would do the trick. And I wanted to use them up.

I did not notice any shifting. It's been just over a year since I first filled the tank and all still looks the same as the day I filled it.

Here is my beam job, might give you some ideas.

I went the "better to be safe than sorry" route. My kids can also jump and play next to the tank and there is absolutely no bouncing of the floor.

DAMN ! nicely done overkill but monster in every way I like how you sistered up those floor joists for added support and good call on the hurricane straps.
