Need to do a little reinforcing to the floor!

I start out by digging up some spots and leveling some 1" X 4" frames I made.
I used a 2" X 12" to run across 7 joist, this will make the wieght distribution span across all 7 of the joist rather than just the 4 the tank mainly sits on.
All forms are in place and ready for the cement to be poured.
Pads poured and the blocks are set in place ready for the 4" X 4" that will be supporting the floor.
The 4"X4"'s are in place and doin there job!!
You can see here where I used shims to tighten the fit between the 2"X12" and the 4"X4", this ensures that if there are any fluctuations in the cement pads I layed I can use the shims to tighten the fit.
Wide angle of the shims, the 2"X12", and the extra steel bracing I installed.
