I was surprised how hard it was to find as set of leveling feet for my DIY stand. Home Depot had nothing with a weight rating. Rocker had only a few choices. as is alway the case on a search engine, you must know what to call something.
Who would have thought I should do a search for Leveling "glides". If you really want a high weight handling, do a search for "Stud Style Leveler".
Anyway, I bought a set rated for 250 pounds. If I am not mistaken that is good for (roughly) up to a 1000 pound tank. Am I correct in this? I am actually only using the legs to dial in the level of the tank to "perfect" then I am going to block it in place. Unfortunately my floor is 1/2 inch off...I did not like the idea of that many shims and it was difficult to fine tune it...
However for those of you with custom steel stands, the stud type go up to several thousand pounds for less than $10 each...
