My stand has wheels yo !!!

[DREAM-faw]

Well, my oldest brother owns a auto body shop. I work for him for FREE... Can you believe that? I Sand car parts,Buff cars,washing cars,cleaning stuff, doing body work on cars(im bad at that),welding and i do a whole bunch of crap about auto body repair. Then one day he was buying some metal supplies/parts & seemed to me he was building a stand. Which he was, so... Decided to watch and help him build the stand. He said, "Watch... So one day youll build one for your fish tank". Well, the stand was made out of metal and we mostly welded everything together. It was actually pretty fun & easy because of all the handy tools we have. But yeah, enough typing.. My grammar is bad so here is the stand. Tell me what you guys think.

Oh yeah, i think its 24" wide and 48"long. Forgot how tall it was. But it had wheels!!! hahah. Imagine if your fish tank stand had wheels x)

Cool ehhh? But it looks weak...

Now lets test this guy out!!!

The stand was used to hold big car parts so we could paint it. Like this trunk bed of a truck.

Maybe ill build one in the future once i get good enough on welding. Oh yea i almost forgot. Ill show you guys a buffed fish tank if i ever have to time to do it! Im real good at buffing cars

ive always wanted a stand with wheels which could lock in place for ease of moving the tank empty ofcourse
i may have to consult a person to build me one lol

LOL i would put my fish tank on a leash and take it everywhere!!!!!!!

Hmmm...I've never seen tank stands designed for anything over 30g with wheels before. Interesting. Surely, you considered the total tank weight especially for one that is fully decorated? I dunno...I feel rather uneasy by this thought.

I'm pretty sure it wont hold any tank with water that fits the stand.

no way bro, that wouldnt hold a 150 gallon.


a little over 1500lbs, that middle would snap, or give/bend. It would have to be made of all the black iron. But cool idea

Haha thanks bro. That stand could hold a trunk bed! haha It took like 5 + guys to carry that thing! I hope it can hold a big tank too!

Iron could hold a lot. I mean it holds my 6,000lb fish tank. But if you do make one use the black iron only. There is no way 10 people could pick up a 150 gallon. Not to mention the concentrated weight on such a small piece of metal. Though i am sure you will learn more and more with this metal building thing. Keep learning dude, your lucky to have such an opportunity!

Thanks bro. Yeah the black metals tend to be much stronger then the silver. I actually broke some of the silver metals before by leaning on them. So no silver if i build a fish tank stand.

Also, box stock or even C channel is much stronger than angle. If I were building a metal stand for a 150 I'd use box steel.
