I used Killz and some high gloss paint on the inside.
Did everyone use wood glue on the 2x4 stand when screwing together. I wasn't going to and didn't know if it would hurt anything .
First thing I see is someone dropped their amex card
As for the stand the front and back supports don't appear to be supported by anything other than screws which is a no no and finally the center casters are on what appear to be cross braces that also are only mounted to the corners by screws. Not sure what size tank this is for or why you'd want it on casters but I wouldn't trust it.
jesserettele I will tell you the same thing I told mlb it will hold 10 gallongs. How many total gallons do you ant to put on that? It looks solid, but you may get dimples in your floor boards. How level /even is the floor? Will all nine always me in contact? I wonder if you would have been better with 2 in each corner or 3 sets of three. The stand sure looks solid. I just worry about it twisting as it is moved.
I would consider adding some plywood on the bottom. Everything looks like right angles so if you push crooked t will turn into a parallelogram. If you add some diagonals I would feel a lot better.
I would also consider moving the middle castor under the support for the tank. It looks like the front edge is just floating.
Anyway that my $0.02
jesserettele, I don't think plywood would help with the pylon issue that mlb caught. Sorry I'm not a structural engineer to say how bad this might be.
jesserettele,
If you design things right, there should be no need to move the tank once its placed. The best gap is wide enough for an extension cord plug to get between the stand and the wall. Otherwise, you risk more then you gain.

Go back to post 85 of the first half (before the split) of this thread and there is some information there. That will show you how to stack your tanks.
History Lesson since you seem new. Sometime last year RC upgraded. Before that after 40 pages a thread was automatically split. Another 40 pages another split. So to find the first post gout have to keep going to page one post one and click the split and repeat until you find the first split. I think this only split once so it is easy.
Here is a pic of post 85 it may be all you need:

Can you just use capped line until you get the garage end figured out. Even if they are capped in the garage it may get you started.
