Contractor recommendation for floor load reinforcement


rlevy

Recommended Posts

I’m ready to upgrade from my 32gal biocube to something in the 150gal range.  Before doing that I need to add some more strength to the floor to carry the load.  This will be on our main floor, above a finished basement, running parallel to the joists.

 

Any recommendations for a contractor for such a job?

 

Also, any thoughts on whether it’s worthwhile to run plumbing while I am already putting holes in ceilings/walls?  My water station is in the basement but on the other end of the house.  Not having to carry buckets up the stairs is appealing.  Would you run 3 separate lines for salt, ato, and waste?

Where are you located? I had my floor reinforced for my tank a few years ago, and have used the same contractor for multiple jobs since then. 
 

Id run double the number of lines you expect to use, just in case. Check out my build thread for what I did.
