Seriously check on that slab thickness. Frankie's right. If it's a standard residential basement only slab (not designed as a garage) it's going to be 3-4" thick which isn't near enough for that point load.

Also I like to see lumber like that in a simple "cradle/u-support" when it's on a jack like that. I have a slide show here that we show to our field reps of that small plate at the top of the jack warping slightly and allowing the weight to be concentrated on a single member instead of spread across the gang there. Right now's the time to add a small level of protection while it's not "loaded".

I can't WAIT to see that tank in action!
