    Default Tank Placement

    My floor joists run perpendicular to proposed six foot
    tank placement. Tank & stand approximately 2000 lbs.
    Wondering what most of you do for peace of mind. I know in my younger days we had a king water bed
    ( over 2000 pounds ) and never gave it a second thought. Comments appreciated.

    Clarify. Attach 2x6 to joist or place tank stand on top of 2x6

    Place the tank stand on top of the 2x6's, but before placing the 2x6's on the floor coat the 2x6 with a water sealer, something like Thompson water sealer.
