For all those still worried about structural integrity, keep in mind that a single 2x2 is capable of supporting 1000+ lbs. by itself. I'd say he'll be just fine.

Frank, did you use base rock? or LR? or a mix of both.....Whatever you used, it looks amazing. Congratulations on getting everything set up.

you might wanna check your floor and beam supoorts as well. That weights gotta carry through to the ground, if your house is on pads you might get one pad sinking fastter then another. I've seen kitchen islands with granit tops put into old houses, that have sunk a corner of the house.

Frank...this is really cool...Anyone who modifies their house to make room for their tanks, is a true devotee to this hobby, and by the looks of your current tank, a master at that!!! Hope you will keep us posted re the steps you take for set up...I live in Jersey, would love to see it when its set up....geeze... a 600 gallon tank, that's everyone's dream come true.
