So in petsmart today they had a sale on a 125gal and stand for 399. I couldn’t pass it up. And I had planned on needing to reinforce my joists with some sister boards and a few beam jacks as I hadn’t been in the crawl space in a long time. This is what I find. And I’m excited as it looks like I need nothing except to get the tank home . In the picture the ductwork runs to a vent that is actually located in one of those hexagon shaped window overhangs past the footers..so the tank would be located almost directly on or immediately in front on the footer and block wall. And perpendicular to the joists as well. And then it’s only an 8 foot span on the oddball sized 2x9( all 2x10s I’ve seen were 9 1/4”)joists to a beam of 3 2x12’s. I took some pictures. I’ll upload them. Would you all still tie the joists together with sisterboards or leave alone
