Guys,

I have a 6x2x2 tank which will be going in my new home. Now the downstairs floor is timber floating...... This will be approx. 2-3tonne.

Whats peoples thoughts on support?

People are telling me all sorts concrete slab, shuttering, blocks, timber etc etc

Now I was wondering would concrete lintels under each joist dug down in a footing, with blocks on top building up under every joist provide enough support?

Some people seem to over egg this but then some dont do anything for a 8 foot tank apart from some extra timber.....

Thanks guys!
 
Think im going to go for that fashion but dig down 1200 x 140mm lintels and build off them up to the rafters, meeting a bricky mate up there later who might come up with something

Thanks
