Floor reinforcement

[PhillyD]

Ok so I bought my first tank used. It’s a 125g. I did a poor job plumbing it. I had a difficult time finding bulkheads that fit the predrilled holes properly so it has slow drips that have developed. i have had it about a year and I am tired of fighting them. I am thinking I am going to start saving for a red sea peninsula 650. so what do I need to do to reinforce my floors If anything ?

No one can answer this whithout knowing what your current floor structure is including position on and orientation to span of joists

the tank is on a load beating wall and the joists run out from the tank long ways so that it sits on more than one.

For my freshwater 90gal tank I placed 2 2x6 under 2 of the floor joist in the basement. May not have been needed but I like the extra insurance.

Sistered the floor joists and added a 4x4 with floor Jack's for support under my 125.
