Bingo! We have a winner!! A single linear actuator is exactly how it's done.

I had to build a frame out of aluminum box tube, attach 2 - 24" drawer slides on the sides and attach that to my tank stand. The actuator pushes up off the floor in the center against a cross brace that is part of the frame.
