After having a closer look at my floor, I realize the joists run parallel to the proposed tank placement. This could be a problem right? Let me refresh the scenario again. Tank is situated along a load barring wall above the garage where there is a supporting joist and beam that lines up right in the middle of the tank position. The floor joists however runs parallel with the tank. The optional teleposts is no longer an option. I am now considering a 125g tank instead of the 180g first thought. Without additional support, can I just wing it with a 125g.
