Probably asked question but couldn't find anything. Floorboards!

[Wcked]

Hey guys!

I'm planning a big tank, 4ft by 4ft by 2ft. (240 gallon).

Add a sump, stand, substrate and live rock (marine) that is well over 1t pushing 1.25t.

Obviously the stand will be flat bottomed. Probably steel reinforced with a x bottom to distribute weight.

My question is do you guys reinforce floorboards/will I have to?

Cheers!

I mean if you have a basement then maybe but otherwise no.

Got like a 2ft gap between the floorboards and concrete
