Regardless of how well built it is, how do you know how well the floor has been built? Were you the original builder? What was the specifications of the concrete mixed - did they follow it? Did they pour it in the rain, like the produce side of the the Superstore in Red Deer? Is it uniform thickness all the way through?

If everyone survives, just take pictures of it for us, and to remind hubby about in future years. ;)

Zinc plated castors don't weld worth a sh!t. Good luck with that. I'd scrap the wheel idea. Otherwise, good support.

There are tons of castors out there that have higher weight limits than these, you have to go beyond Rona and Canadian Tire tho to get them, and they arn't cheap. After doing a few quick searches on the net they would go for about $175-$200 a castor.

The stand looks good and strong, the wheels will hold the load, but others have the point on how are you going to do the final level of the tank. Seeing that you are going to block it up now make sure the blocks are close to the wheels as that where the support is needed, but I am sure that your hubby will look after that as it is a very sound design.

Whats your point? I could care less if the wheels will hold the weight or not. My point is clearly illustrated to how the plated castors are fastened to the frame.
