New to me waterbox 130.4

[longjohn]

Hey guys was just wondering if anyone has a waterbox 130.4? How is everyones experience with waterbox?

I'm looking at a used 130.4 in excellent condition. It was bought in March of 2022

and was wondering I'f anyone has experience with these tanks and if they are still holding up good almost 3 years later.
The one I am looking at seems to have a different style stand without the divider in the centre.

I just don't want to buy a used tank that I'm going to regret later. Also did anyone have any issues with weight of the tank on thier floor. I live in a 140 year old building I don't have a basement and we have old oak 2 x 12s joists that are supported with limestone footings then a 2" tung and groove subfloor and then 1/4" tung and groove hardwood. I can't put the tank horizontal to the joists so the tank will have to go vertical to the joists. After calculations the tank,sump,stand and equipment will weight just over 1560 LBS.
My guess is ill need to brace the floor in some way?

3 years is not considered old by any means. Waterbox makes a solid product that should easily last 10+ years with proper care. Check the silicone - if there aren't any glaring problems, it should be fine.
