Are those leveling screws on the bottom of the stand? You now I have the patent on that idea :twised:

Yes they are. your patent is only valid in Alberta. BC has a different set of rules. hehe!

I was rather pleased with the out come of those leveling feet. I think there are 16 all together. Man, what a difference it made to level the tank, nice and easy took my buddies a few minutes while I was out side taking a smoke break.:redface: I gotta give props to my buddy Jason for sketching it up for me, Thanks buddy!

I was originally concerned about the weight distribution bu my welder told me that I could park a Dodge Ram Van on the stand without any issues.

Nice job, I love the deep dimension tanks, only think I don't care for is the way the braces are in the water, I reduced my flow and opened up the teeth in the overflows to lower the water enough so you don't see them on mine, what are the plans for skinning the stand?

As far as skinning the tank, I will give it an honest attempt this weekend, we will see how it will turn out! I want to pick up a couple of sheets of oak or maple. I was thinking to use magnets and counter sink them into the each panel, so it will hold them to the metal stand. I want to split the front into 2 separate pieces in the front and 1 piece on either end and leave the back open. just incase I mess it up, I have a guy who did my stand for the 210 will come over and help me with it.
