Thanks mark!

One more question for those of you who have made / designed your own stands. I had originally planned for 6 feet (each one about 2.5 inches square) to be on the bottom of the stand. Now I am confident on the ability of the feet to hold the tank, but I was thinking of the possibility of wrecking the floor (in the middle of the biggest room in the rental house, a year after new hardwood floors were but in!). Is this going to be too much weight (ie pounds per inch) for the floor to handle without damage? The tank is going to be a 135, and the sump about 30g, plus a top up - and the tank is made out of 1/2" and 5/8" glass, and the sump is overbuilt as well - so it is freakin heavy.
