Any way to fix this stand?

[Visionist]

Bought a metal stand used and came to find one section of steel isnt flush so it on this corner and a large section of the side there is no contact with the bottom of the tank. Can this be fixed any way or should I just cut my losses.

I guess you could try to solder it if its full metal.

55 Gallon- Empty
125 Gallon- CKF and Tiger Oscar

Drill and screw a sheet on 3/4" Plywood on top

It will, just use bolts and nuts, 2 in each corner, add a sheet of Styrofoam so the bolts do not contact bottom of tank..

I should be able to recess the bolts so styrofoam isnt needed since styrofoam can make the tank lean to one side

Oh, if you're that handy than for sure!! Get carriage bolts, they have a low profile head..

Don't even need to screw & bolt, the weight of the tank will hold it in place. I've got 1/2" ply on all my racks, none screwed down.

The weld is snapped.. it's a wobble issue not a weight issue..

The weld isnt snapped. When the stand was made they welded this piece up a little too high so its not flush like the other 3 corners
