As far as the actual weight of the tank, I told you from the get go that you don't need to support the floor. Thankfully some other people have come in here and supported this as well.

well the stair to my basement was not finished so i can see that there is a .5" layer on top of 1 inch subfloor. Then my tile is on top of that. So I assume it is 1.5" subfloor that you guys are talking about. I better take some pictures and post it here. I will get some engineer guy come over and take a look to make sure.

Thanks for everyone inputs here, we should really have a "Thanks" system going on this board.
