Yes.. Because the joists run lengthwise to the tank, I added 2 more joists as well as two 2X8 studded bearing walls directly under the centerline on the tank - Basically a 16" thick studded wall with a 2X8 bearing wall running the width of the tank forming a 'T' wall under the centerline of the tank. The other end closest to the window sits directly over the concrete foundation wall as my livingroom is cantalevered out 24"

The setup looks great, especially the rockwork on the stand.
What do you all have in there for livestock?

WOW! That looks really great! Like to rock work for the stand. How many lbs of rock for the stand? Aquascaping looks nice too.

That's pretty amazing. I like it. I'm guessing that's rock veneer. I was looking to get some for my wall.

Its Eldorado Stone, cultured stone. It weighs less than half of real stone. Basically its what is commonly used for exterior commercial & residential construction because its lighter and way cheaper than real dry-stack stone. The cost of the rock was about $300 and is directly glued to 3/4" plywood substrate with PL400 construction adheasive. It was very easy to install - no messy mortar to deal with.

Great looking tank and stand. I am thinking of doing some of that stone stuff around my fireplace - seeing your stand it makes me think maybe I should do some around my tanks as well.
