Show me Your Fancy STANDS!!!

[allgoodsystems]

Do any of you use floor support jacks? We have crawl spaces under our houses here. My tank is only 170 gallons. My stand and canopy probably weighs over 200 pounds, plus live rock and sand. My mind stated wandering and all I could think about were my kids jumping around and the floor joists giving away so I went out to Lowes and bough a couple of the floor joist jacks and a 4x4 post. Just curious and probably not needed but I like to be cautious.

allgood -
Couple things:

First, I've always liked this weight Calculator.

Secondly, have you ever been to our Club meetings here in west TN, or been to our WebSite???

Here's the Local RC Link

Join us! And I agree.... If you're in doubt, Jack it! The Live Floor load of your house might not have been designed for 3/4 Ton!

Heres a slightly better pic...I used a standard metal stand purchased from petco, and just attached these panels...The panels are made from rice paper...in keeping with tradition.
