Well that is a good point Dawn, free is always good.

If you wiggle the tank at one end in both directions how much does it move?

Oh come on...it weighs a ton, bet it doesn't move easily!

Dawn, just add some more vertical pieces. I would say two more along the front and two more along the back.

You would be surprised how metal moves if it is not solid enough, I should know I work with it every day. 1" tube can bend fairly easy.

I know this is going to be a tough question to answer but are the corners of the tube almost square or do they have a bit of a rounded corner?

Ok well it's possible that the tube is 1/8" thick but for piec of mind I would see if you could get 4 more vertical tubes put in so that there is one every 2 FEET.

Yeah, I would feel more comfortable with that. Really kicking myself for not getting some input before I had this thing built Now I'll have to see if I can find a welder near by to fix this thing up for me. Thanks for your help Grizz!!!
