![]() I was going to do the same as you when I had my 125g
A builder aquaintance suggested a 1/4" steel plate of 6x6" or larger under the jack post The wood you have under it may split and could be a bit larger to prevent the concrete from cracking (it is a concrete floor, ya?) I also talked to an engineer. Because of the cost of liability I didn't pay him for his services. He told me he entered my flooring and weight specs into his formula and told me that, if I were to pay him, he would suggest the above idea as a minimum, but because I wasn't paying him, he wouldn't be legally allowed to tell me that ![]() The rest looks great. All I'd add to it is some cross bracing between the new support joists to prevent twisting Last edited by gregzz4; 07-20-2013 at 08:35 PM. |
