OK apologies first off, this will probably get confusing. I have a 93 gallon cube. I want to move the sump to the basement. I'm looking downstairs and I notice one of the joists is not sitting on its support beam. It's tied into another joist so there is a gap between the joist and the support its supposed to sit on. My tank is in that area now but after I move the tank a foot or so to get it where I want it it will be sitting on 3 joists and at least one of them aren't touching like it should be. All joists are supported along the exterior wall it will be by. But about 10 ft from that wall is the steel beam that the joists aren't all sitting on like the should be. Here are some pics to hopefully help. My question is, is this a concern or is it fine. Maybe add in a joist support under the tank? Fill the gap somehow? Or leave it be.
The first picture is the exterior wall, under the floor where it will sit, about 10 feet across from that wall is the steel beam that the joists are iffy.

I wouldn't worry about it. You're close to the wall and on three joists. You're good.
 
OK I just double checked and it will sit fully on two, one completely supported, the other like I stated with the gap, then the third joist it "may" sit on, and it has a gap as well. This is the full wall I should have posted earlier, then the beam with the gap joists.
