I am going to be setting up a 93 gal cube (30x30x24) in my house over crawl space. I anticipate the total weight to be ~1,200 lbs. The tank will sit on 2 beams right off an exterior wall and 5'4" from the nearest support column. Here is an http://imgur.com/a/5bh4g">album</a> of a sketch better explaining the location and photos.
Will I need to reinforce the floor? If I do should I sister the Joists? Or can I use a deck block and short length of 2x10 supported with a jack post on both sides of the tank running perpendicular to the beams?
