That's a great design. :)

His thoughts about leveling leg is good but not good enough. If anyone can actually contact him this is what I would pass on to him .

He needs to have 6 - 8 legs for that size of tank and have a metal pad welded to larger size bolts as I have done on my 8' 165 gal (225 gal total) 10 foot pads in total.

Just my thoughts

I think in the blog post he was actually discussing how that design with the bolts scared him. Far as I know he's not doing that but I could be wrong.

I kind of figured that but if designed right they work. I have built things with a higher weight and less legs, it all depends on the size of the bolt / threaded rod.

Bad news... seems that his huge leather (my favourite coral in his tank) has taken a turn for the worse. I really hope it pulls through. :cry:
