mcloughlin2 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 jason (yellow) on this forum mentioned in another thread that you can buy some form of supporting from bunnings. All you need is a solid base to put the support on then you jack it up under the beams. Do a search and it should come up. He says he has a tank that i think was a 6x2x2 with a large sump with the extra support and he has no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
