I have had my 75 gal reef for a few years now and in the pocess of remodeling our kitchen we decided to redo the whole living room and dining room.
This created a nice spot for a 180.
Problem 1 - The joists run north -> south, & the tank has to sit north -> south. So I went to a structural engineer and he is in the process of drawing up prints to support the load. Gonna add 8 or 10 2X4" downstairs on slab. This will cut into the living space, but by boxing it in it will give us a storage room. Cost for this $250. Does this sound about right?
