The tank is looking pretty slick, amazing what a difference the black silicone makes, I like it

Well finally got around to building the steel frame stand for the tank. I went with 30" tall & put adjustable feet as well.

Cut a piece of G1S spruce for the top & added some 1/2" styro. Here's what it looks like with the tank on it.

Coming along Greg, looks good. What kind of levelling feet do you use?
Screw type?

Yes slowly but surely it will be done. I used 3/4" A325 structural bolts, welded the nut into the bottom of the HSS still have to cut some 1/4" x 4" round plates to weld to the bolt.

Sorry Greg
Nice welding.

There are co here in the lower mainland that have round plates punched out from previous jobs. Maybe you could find some up there?
