yes the tank is in my main floor livingroom.

I had the builder pour an 8 x 3 concrete footing in the earth and change the two 2x10 laminated beams to FIVE 2 x 14 laminated beams. I then added my own jackposts on top of the footing about 2.5 feet from the beams. so my tank is supported directly under the front and back.

I had the engineers re-enforce for a 500 gallon tank as overkill. In the end the footing was not needed so I added jackposts to add more stability so the footing would not be wasted.
