Not that its a big deal once you have a few hundred lbs of water on it.

It's not in those threads but I also added some of this under my stand to keep the wires clean. Looks good and it's pretty inexpensive. 2"x2" finger duct.

I like the look and idea of this "finger duct" - where did you buy it from?

Any electrical supply store should carry it. The brand commonly used is Panduit. Going to get some this afternoon as a matter of fact.

Thanks for all the great suggestions and help. This has helped me as I think through how to build it. I hope to buy the supplies on Friday and begin the construction. Unfortaintly I have meetings from Fri afternoon through the end of the weekend and the next week is equally full. It will take me a week or two to complete it. I will pattern it on the original stand which can been seen on my Tank Journal (I think I have got the correct link here). The best picture is in the last post.
