My sump overflowed yesterday and about 8 gallons of water spilt onto the floor. Most of it soaded through the floor and leaked through the ceiling (looked like it was raining downstairs). I was wondering what this will do to the support beams under my tanks (90 gal 3 ft away). Should I move my 90 gal? or am I just being paranoid?

I would remove the ceiling drywall so that the beams can properly dry out. Plus the back of the ceiling is lined in paper and 8 gallons is a lot of water for soaking the paper nice and thouroghly. Removing it will eliminate the posiblily of mold.
Assuming the beams are not regulary wet, then there should not be a problem.

Now lets figure out why, so it doesn't happen again. :)
