yeah when I did my Calculations i put the water at 8.6lbs. Looked at the blue prints, I was correct, two load bearing walls and the joists will be perpendicular to the tank, so I think I will be fine. Thanks for all the feed back guys! I just have to find a way to make it level, I built the...

Hi Guys! So recently got my hands on a 72 bowfront! I live on a second floor of a house with a basement. Now my house was built after the 60s, so I dont believe it uses trusses, going to look in the attic tom to see. Now I calculated the tank to land between 850-900 lbs including: rock, sump...

I use the Sera Marine test kit, it comes in a brief case, but i have used this kit and the Api and they both read out the same! I did about a 5-10% about 4 days ago. So I guess something is off, I dont know what >.>
