I have had this tank up for alittle over a year. i went from an acrylic 75, to a 3/4in glass 120. The tank alone must weigh 4-5oolbs, and even though its been up for over a year I am getting nervous with it. It is in a house that is well over 100yrs old, and it is up against a load bearing wall. When I bought this tank it came with a stand, and I was going to build my own, but due to being lazy, and not having much time I never did. The stand is not going to fall, if it would it would have by now. What I am afraid of is lateral movement. When we had that small earthquake I didnt see any movement, but I might not have been in the room when it happened. When I shut down my pumps and the water is still I can see movement when someone walks heavy, i see the water move, and I dont like it. Does anyone else notice this with there tanks? I am looking to see if anyone has plans for a 4x2 tank stand? I have already talked to a fabricator, and he said if I had a drawing it would be easier to price. I want it raised higher, but right now I am just looking to get some plans. If anyone on here is a welder and wants to give me a price, shoot me a PM.
Thanks Derek
