Question about my floor strength

well the setup in mind for the 120 would be about 1500lbs how do you think i would do with a 90 at about 1000lbs?

 

I would think the 90 would be ok, but I can try to dig up some info and find out if the 120 would work. Didn't have time to look at it earlier. Is there any way to measure of the joists are 2x8 or 2x10?

 

So everything I am finding with 2x8 is that it will support 20 psf of dead weight. With 4ft by 2 ft you have 8 sf which is 1600 lbs. This would be higher for 2x10 but typically 2x10 are 24"oc and 2x8 are 16"oc. Hope this helps.

 

I say go for it, if your length of the tank is running perpendiculat to the joists, should not be a problem, especially up by the end wall.

Is this structure/house in Leukoslavia?

 

It is a house and the joists are 2x10. I am also thinking of going with a 125 as well because it is 6 ft long and wouldn't weigh much more.

 

You are good to go with 2x10s

 

For which size?

 

Either tank should be fine, just run it perpendicular to the joists- and the closer to an end wall the better- you should be fine.

 

1+ I agree good either way!
