How is stating fact considered ignorant?

It may cost $1000 to hire a structural engineer in Canada, but it does not in the states.

If you'd like to start slinging insults I suggest that you post on another board.

You completely missed my point (but yet I'm apparently the ignorant one).

Is this the correct way to position a tank on a 1st floor or any floor above the basement?

oh and jumping up and down will tell you nothing. That is a breif amount of stress and has no comparison to dead weight and its ablity to shere a joist or sag a floor.

Dynamic loading will cause more damage than a standing load. You should take a physics class.

Yes that is how you want to position the tank.
