93 gal cube on crawl space

[rodasphoto]

I hope to be purchasing a 93 gal cube in the near future and was wondering if the weight of the tank will be an issue on the foundation (crawl space)? The space under the house is about 3-4 ft. Should I be worried?

Is the tank going to be near/on an exterior wall?

10 ft from an exterior wall.

Is it by a load bearing wall?

I added a diagram above in hopes of it helping.

you could always dive some supports in under where it will go.
I've done that before. never had an issue

How would I add support?

Do you know how many joists it will sit across?

I am imagine 2. But I am going to go in the crawl space when I get home this evening.

I ran into the same issue when I had my 93 gallon cube. I ended up buying 2 crawl space joists from northern tool and put them under it. I don't think I really needed them, but they weren't very expensive and they were pretty easy to install.

I can send pictures of what the crawl space looked like if you would like.

Thanks please do.

I went under my crawl space and found the following at the location I want to put the tank or really really close to it.

Sent you some photos. If that's right under the tank then you probably don't need to do anything else.

SO based on the first pictures it looks like the wall you will set this up next to is a load bearing wall meaning you're good to go!

Good deal that is what I thought as well. The other location I was thinking about putting it would be right at the front of the house next to an exterior wall which is suppose to be able to hold the weight as well from what I have read.
