You got plenty of room to put a bigger tank. If the trailer were mine I would find the largest tank that I can fit between the i-beams.

The supports you have right now cause a lot of stress on that tank belly it looks like it barely makes contact in the middle of the braces when the tank belly sags.
I'd also add some black coroplast on all sides of the tank to help keep algae and mold from growing in the tank. Mine has it installed from the factory.
