i am actually going to go with 3 x 3 by .375 inch because they dont have the .313. so I am going to go bigger vice smaller.
underneath there is 2 x 10's at a 12 foot span every 12 inches running in the same direction as the tanks.
there is also a 2 foot retaining wall at the 6 foot mark running perpendicular to the joists with 2 x 12 foot pilings under that. One of the pilings is directly under where the tanks will be sitting.
there is also 3/4 tongue and grove OSB flooring.
I should be fine with the weight I think.
I actually built it specifically for tanks to go there.
however, they were going to go in the same direction as the retaining wall, but decided to put them all against the outside wall instead.
it is alot of weight, but I think the saving grace is the 2 foot retaining wall at the halfway mark. I don't see how the 2 x 10's could really go anywhere with that there.
opinions would be greatly appreciated.
btw, as for gawking.....no comment on the weight issue...I am trying to lose a few lbs ok...lol
thanks again
Neal
