Could you draw the drain in there? Does it just run down between the two joists the tank is over top? Drains are pretty easy to move. Adding a handful of 2x4" supports perpendicular to the joists would be enough to let you sleep at night. Screw them to the floor and then screw through the joists into the supports. Like a ladder between the joists...know what I mean? I hope you do because I can't draw worth a crap in those drawing programs!
