Ok soz , i want to plug the bottom of my stands feet so that i can insert bolts into the plugs to make the stand level to the floor.

i think you may need to get some flat plate cut to size with a hole with a nut welded on the bottom/inside of the round plate, maybe take it to like a machine shop down the road from you, I'm sure they'll have a few scraps they can run thru a lathe pretty quick for you.

Hi Zippy should the plate be a specific thickness?

how heavy is your tank? Glass plus Water?

i THINK all in all about 1 ton if not more, i donr mind spending a bit more for a thicker plate if it is going to be safer,(ill rather overkill)

Try a company called Glenmar at Hillfox Centre

5mm over 4 legs should be fine. The plate needs to fit the bottom of the leg. Not the hole but the leg. So a portion of the leg wall rests on the flat plate
