Yea very nice job, what's with the wheels ? I see you and jrpark22000 running with the same thing.

I'll help out here for those who are thinking bout wheels. You MUST OVERBUILD your stand. Tanks cannot withstand tank deflection well. With even a 1/16" unevenness in your floor, the weight of the tank will bear down on the stand forcing it conform to the floor contours. It's a recipe for a split seam or crack. Build the stand and overrate the wheels so when you do encounter uneven floors the stand won't deflect any measurable amount.
It's also a good idea to test it before you fill it with livestock; put the tank on the stand, fill it with water and jack up just one corner. Better to find out now than after the tank has 2 years of growth.
