Default Re: Tempered?

If your 135 is as I suspect (and I know something about old things lol)It is six feet long which should spread its weight out nicely over your floor.Most manufactured homes have 2x6 floor joists on 12 inch centers with 3/4 inch plywood sheeting which should be more than adequate to support the weight of your tank as long as you set it up across the joists.As for drilling the tank,any number of people from this forum have done it themselves without incedent.Some older tanks have tempered bottoms so the best plan is to drill the back.If you can get the tank to an lfs most can drill them.Or myself and a few others can guide you thru doing it yorself.Dont let them scare you.
