It's 7 years old. It's on laminate flooring. Unfortunately I can't turn it so it's perpendicular to the floor joists which means it would sit on maybe two joists. I might pull the floor up and try the blocking. Just sucks that there is no where in my house that I can put a bigger tank

I've never heard of issues with anything under 125. Your 110 tank full would weigh about 1300 pounds. If you had 6 200 pound men stand there in a row would they fall through the floor? I'd be worried about a 180 gallon but has anyone ever reinforced a floor for a 110?

If your worried I'd just lay a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood underneath the base to spread out the weight a little more and some piece of mind as well

Awesome, thanks guys. I guess the best thing to do is just check the level of the tank every day and see if there is any sag. And if I notice then strip it down before the seals bust. I don't think there would be any issues though. Thanks for all the advice 😁
