    Talk to a builder about installing extra supports for your floors.
    My fathers tank is so big, it weighs over a ton! these poorly constructed 'paper mache' NZ houses just cant take the strain!

    ...was never a problem in UK with 'proper' brick houses and 4 foot deep solid concrete foundations

    but again, look under your floor and make sure your tank goes accros several floor joists instead of running along one, and i found a good 3 inches away from the wall, as after time it can crack the join from wall to floor and water can enter... causes all sorts of problems!

    I've put extra piles under my house when I had the 1000 litres on a wooden floor.

    Estimated weight was around 1.5-1.7 ton, 350kilos of glass, 1 ton of water, plus gravel etc etc

    eight piles under the floor sorted me out tho'

    get your self a bottle jack, crawl under the house, jack house up, use wedges to hold piles in place, the drop the house down

    He's not called Bitcher for no reason..!
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
