Just a thought on stands for large tanks,has anyone used the torsion box principle . ( info on web)? I used this method to construct a work bench and saw table which are immensely strong and rigid. It involves a frame of say 2x4with a skin of plywood glued and screwed to the frame on both sides. the stresses are distributed over the full length and width of the construction not just on the 'legs'. I also used 1/2 inch threaded rod to bolt the frame together. The resulting ' box' ,which can have an open front, is incredibly strong and immovable but can be broken down if needed.
