hello there , fellow reefers ,fairly new to this forum ,i have a question i need to build a new stand for my wifes 46 bowfront in her office .
the original stand has water dammage from the skimmer overflowing and not being noticed .so my plan is to build a 2 x 4 stand , to accomodate a larger higher sump to catch any splash.
my question is has anyone ever built a stand on wheels or see anything wrong with it .not looking to move it around the office but more for when i need to gain access to it id like to be able to move it to do any mantenance on it when need be .
maybe this is a far fetched idea and just stick to the stand .have to move on this fairly quickly ...any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated
thanks
tom

Hi

I'd never seen one until I built a rolling stand for my 34g cube.

As long as it's built strong and extra ridgid and wheels are rated for weight go for it! I love being able to roll out tank from corner to wash floor, access equipment, paint walls etc.

I sourced self levelling Castors so I can level tank out, (I run my waterline really high and my floor isn't level).

Shoot me and your email and Ill dig up a picture
