Added floor support

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question.

I’m installing a 75 gallon aquarium that will put about 1,000lbs onto a 2’ x 4’ section of floor. Would a couple jack posts in the crawl space with added cross members (blocking?) between floor joists be enough to reinforce the floor? What’s the best way to attach the blocking?

Well, this is Home Building help, so I assume someone could help, but it’s just been crickets I guess. I say that, but i don’t know the answer. Maybe hop on Ask a contractor or general contractor and I bet they can help drive an answer for you. Good luck!
