Its a must

I had quite a bit of rust when I sold off my 150gallon a year ago, luckily I had put the wood under the stand aswell. Expecially if your using a sump in the stand, as mosture will build up quickly. And if your messy like me and spill water often, then its a miracle worker! :P

I think that is enough support. The main thing is having it perpendicular to the joists, plus having the beam and teleposts so close. When u get the tank, fill er up and use a level to see if the floor starts to drop a little?

those are my thoughts anyhow.

I gave into fear and bought 2 teleposts and 2 2x10's. I'm going to double the number of joists under the tank.

Better safe than sorry!

Enjoy the new tank!
