take the width of the tank x the length of the joist x 50 and thats what my floor can hold
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback... for more specifics, it is a standard 125 AGA and 30 AGA sump (72" L x 18" W). I want to put this on a second floor outside wall, with the tank running parallel to the joists. The house is standard construction and the way the joists ended up, there is actually a joist approximately 12 - 24" in front of the wall that I want to put the tank against - I can measure the exact position of that joist if that helps.

BTW using the "rule" above, tank width x joist length x 50 = 1.5 ft x 13' x 50 = 975 (if this is a valid calculation and I am using correctly, then this would say it couldn't hold a 125 + 30 gal tank).

Any further comments will be appreciated.
