Very nice. Is that powder coated or just painted? And what are those 2 taller pieces behind the stand?

powder coated. those back pieces make a catwalk to be able to stand on and clean inside the tank easier. some of us werent givin the gift of height!

the bottom of the tank will be around 42". the catwalk is at about 52" high

I surprised I have not heard from some how those 'leveling legs' do not or would not distribute the weight prop[erly along or around the perimeter.

Seems that those legs have less surfarce are that would make contact on the floor and cause the many issues that were raised when the subject thread was 'wheels on a stand'.

Other then the the issues involved in the actual moving of the stand' the issues seem similar to the other thread that this may cause a problem.

And of course, I do not subscribe to those theories or opinions and believe this stand could hold anything thrown its way, as well as a stand that had wheels that were equally capable of supporting the load.

So, where are the detractors now? In awe of a fancy paint job no doubt..

Hey Reefer714,

How did you see it in person? Is that your or did you build it? If it is, that is one awesome stand.
