Personally, I would just figure out a different way to position the tank.

Home builder suggested slipping in another floor joist and connecting the bottoms of the joists together with 8 foot 2x4s or one steel beam.
Just curious if anyone else had any better ideas.
Wish I had my blue prints handy. Reinforcing the joists will not be an eye sore because it will be behind a suspended ceiling.
Gonna put the sump in the basement.
