I like the way you've basically built a wall support of blocks there. Reminds me of a basement in school. How many blocks is that? Are they glued or stacked?

That Oscar makes that 225 look like a 125....big boy.
Yes he is! My original plan was to have the tank at 36" height getting it to around 240-250ish gallons but the ceiling abutment overhead prevented that. I'm tall so it wouldn't work. I use a small stepladder to work over the tank and I have to bend to avoid a concussion on one side. The stand is around 29" in height. If the tank were at 36" I would have had it lower, maybe no higher than 26-27 ish.
Thanks. It's a rectangular block enclosure w/ an opening on the far side such that I can get underneath although being under the tank occasionally reminds me that I have made wiser choices in my time. There are roughly 90-100 blocks in that foundation and they are not glued. I wrestled w/ that quite a bit as I live in a seismic zone 4 region. The filled tank weighs several tons and tectonic plates weigh more so there is some risk. Hope is a poor strategy but it's the strategy I've got.
