do anybody know were to buy these in the uk and how much weight they can hold.

A 8ft jack is going to cost a ton and be a lot more then you need. Just buy a cinder block to use as the base and cut treated 4X4's the length you need and hammer them in snuggly. Depending how big the tank is 2-3 of these would hold just about anything.

the tank will be 6x2x2 or 5x2.5x2 ft about the same weight,

my in-laws are builders and those jacks will carry a hell lot more than your two tanks. Ugly looking yokes though. My wife wouldn't be best pleased if I put them up anywhere in the house

The original weight jacks posted (for use with the 4X4) at 8' will hold 20,000 LBS. Why wouldn't those work for you?
