howdy20012002 is on a distinguished road
Default

but the 2 x 10 have no where to go....they are completely supported by the retaining wall below them...they would basically have to be crushed for them to go anywhere or the retaining wall would have to be pushed down.
as well the the retaining wall will be dead centre of where the tank is going to be above it. so the tank will be stradling the wall.
as for the stand ends, I woudl be running a 3 x 3 beam along the bottom of the stand along the floor. that way the weight will be dispersed along the entire length.
