Great...thanks very much. I was thinking a telepost where the 2 joists meet plus an additional one 37" down to meet the edge of the aquarium, or is that overkill?

I've got my 145g sitting across 5 joists midway between 2 beams ~10' apart. Though the stand is built in, it basically 2x4" construction.

No cracks in the grout or stone in front of it and I've really got to bounce my 200+ close to the tank to get a ripple.
