My stand has wheels yo !!!

I would be concerned about the wheels. All that force is concentrated on a little metal axle pushing downward on a plastic wheel. One of them could split in half eventually.

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!

5 guys? wow...

truck beds are relatively light. That stand serves it's purpose, but would be incredibly weak if you put some actual weight on it. Imagine a 150 gallon on there....you think it's strong enough to hold a small car?

I would use 2x3 or 3" square tubing, at least 1/8" wall, and build it overkill. Build it as if it were going to hold a car up. I wouldn't bother with all that triangular bracing and stuff without something more solid between the posts.

Make sure the wheels have locks on them so they dont move!

wheels like that have a weight limit, i hope you all checked into that before putting them on there. your liable to put a tank on it, fill it with water and the wheels either crack, or something worse. in theory, was a good idea. but i wouldn't trust those wheels

Who said anything about putting a actual fish tank on the stand? lol
