| Re: Sub floors & preparing for your new aquarium Canar, are the 2x10's on hangers or are the sitting on a wall? If on a wall you should be ok with the weight. The big problem i see happening is sagging in the middle of the room. If it was mine i would put the beams in the center of the room below. And is that lower room on a slab or over a basement? 2x10's on 16 center can hold a lot of weight. It really comes down to how there installed and what lies beneath. I would get a structural engineer to come sign off on this one just to be safe. Its hard to tell with out looking at your situation.
