I took down my larger tanks prior to moving into the house I currently own but I’m getting back into it with a standard 125. My old tanks were on concrete floor in the basement but in the new house there is a layer of subfloor (dricore or barricade, not sure which) over the concrete. This should be able to support the tank without any risk correct? Thanks in advance.

Personally would hire a building contractor if not sure what's under the subfloor.

Are you saying that there is a layer of subfloor over a concrete slab, so essentially it's just an extra piece of plywood over a concrete slab? Or that the subfloor is only plywood? In any case your 125 should be ok it's not that big to need support. However if you have access to your crawlspace it would only cost you about 30 dollars to support it and there's nothing like having that extra peace of mind! Good Luck
