Pier And beam aquarium?

[Prestomagic17*]

I live in a pier and beam foundation home. I want to upgrade aquarium from 29gl —> 90,120 gl, but not sure if that’s to big of a load for a pier and beam‍.

If you have enough space you could always add cement blocks & pressure treated 4x4 to add extra support, It also depends on how the wood floor support is running & how you place the tank. If it's parallel to the tank you probably would be ok, if horizontal with the tank you might want to add the support.

I think you got it backwards. If your tank is running perpendicular to the beams, that is ok, since more beams would be spreading the load. If your tank is running parallel then more weight is on fewer beams. But like was noted, if you can put some blocks and post under it in the crawl space, do it, it may not be needed but won't hurt and is cheap to do.

Its right fit underneath, but I’m thinking I’ll crawl under for the peace of mind. In this Bobbie that’s key

My thought process was the same as yours just didn't word it right, Thanks for pointing it out.
