Question Support for a 230G

The tank is going to be 76x30x24, sump is 60x20x20, steel stand.

It will sit perpendicular to the joists, and in front of the main beam with a telepost under it.

frt---back main beam

Here's a picture of upstairs, the main beam is directly under the divider wall, and a telepost near the middle of that wall.



The question is, do I need some 2x10's and a telepost under the front of the tank? My calculations of the tank and sump with water is about 2760lbs (8.35lbs/gallon) before rock! I'm scared
