Tonyscoots84's Marineland 200DD Tank Upgrade

[Tonyscoots84]

Floor is know supported (Thankyou masterswimmer for guiding me in the right direction)

 

[masterswimmer]

Looks great T. You did super work there. Now you can enjoy your reef in peace. It ain't goin anywhere.

Nice work scoots. Jump up and down to test it out

Personally, I would've put the blocks in between the joists and the lollipop columns in support of the actual joists.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

its simple and it works

 

[TUSI]

Tony anchor the columns to the floor with concrete lags and also the beam and use mechanical connectors from the beam to joist with S straps so for sure won't be any movements. Technically you are suppose to do a concrete footing under columns but if your slab is 4" thick it should be ok. Just an opinion

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Tusi the lally's just sit on those metal plates so by drilling into my cement in the basement is not worth it. If i see anything out of whack i will take the route i need to Thanks tusi i appreciate it.
