I am considering moving my tank to another location . Where my tank sits now is great for viewing and structurally its not going anywhere. The new tank will limit access to the basement and from a style point of view its all wrong the tank is siting rite in front of a window.



Every outside wall in my home has large windows the only other location has less reinforced structure the joist are running with width the tank providing less support. There is a large manufactured support beam to the side of the tank that I think should provide enough support . The total weight of the tank and stand should be about 1500 lbs . The basement is finished so there is no adding extra support . What do you guys think am I over thinking this ?
