hahaha, ya i got really lucky...the tank is in the basement though and sitting basically on concrete so..i dunno... i got super lucky and im really happy about it...im glad after getting it all in i didnt have to monkey around with leg heights and shimming it...so far so good :) |
A slab is always a good place... if your stand is good you shouldn't have any problems about losing level.
|
well i built it so who know..haha.. im pretty sure it will be fine, it was engineered to hold like 5 times the forseen weight being put on it. Took awhile but i crunched the numbers and it will be more than sufficient.. :)..p.s. ur build is looking great

haha, yep sure is... i think that thing is like 10 years+ old. i dont even know why its still here..haha..oh well its kinda cool i guess..LOL

Really impressed with your overflow job. I know for a fact my skills decline to damn near zero when I have a flowing tube of silicone in my hand!
How do you plan to skin the stand? Are you doing a canopy I don't recall reading about that. |
