Calling all Trailor Trash

[attempt]

Ok there has got to be someone in here that is in a mobile home such as myself. I currently have a 40 gal tank with a 20 gal sump, about 80lbs rock and sand. I want to get a 75 or a 90 after the first of the year.
Is this ok in a mobile home? do I need to put braces under the home?
any advice would be great. I dont need to have a new tank go through the floor!!!

Better safe than sorry. A few braces will be cheap compared to the cost of a tank through the floor. Couple four by sixes and a couple of concrete pillars maybe $40 at hime depot.

most floor joist are 16 to 24 inches on center just make sure your tank in sitting perpindicular to the joists or across them and you shouldn't have a problem your tank should go across 2 to 3 of them

Add the braces and you will be thank full. Also, you may want to consider adding some power.
