I have two 400 gal tanks going in a refrigerator shipping container. Technically the floor will support the weight but I’m looking for ideas on distributing the weight better than the 3 little legs. Any ideas?

Set it on a piece of 3/8 plate a little bigger than the tanks...or a double thick layer of 3/4" plywood would probably work too.
Or I guess you could do a combo...steel plate on 3/4" wood
