    Well last night i finished adding support to the floor joist. I noteced when a few people look into the tank at once the floor would rock a little which kinda freaked me out. I dont have pics cause its dusty and a bear to crawl under the house and the last thing i wanted was to pack a camera under there.
    I drug two pyramid style cinder blocks with some cut to length 4x4 post. I attached the post to adjustable brackets which fit into the blocks, i then adjusted to the point where i felt sufficient pressure bracing two of the floor joist. Now that its completed the floor no longer rocks which makes sleep better at night. Sah-weet

    Thank you Corailline, very kind of you. I wish i had more rock to work with but im pleased with the turnout. I have added a yellow and blue-hippo tank and they swim so gracefully through some of the caves. By adding those fish i can almost say my wife finally enjoys the tank.... ;D
