I am also planning on building a 250-300 gal tank in my house. I would love to hear what you did to "beef up" the floor and what type of stand you plan to use.
I am planning on building my stand with an open bottom. This way people can sit in on both sides of the tank it on bar stools with their legs under the it. I will also include a padded arm rest all the way around, just like a bar.
