Steel frame specifications

I'm thinking of putting height adjustable feet under the legs of the stand to level the tank before filling up should the tiles be uneven or if I might move the tank in the future. Want to know if someone here did that? :wave2:

I've seen it in the mining industry with much heavier stuff. You weld 10mm flat bar on the end of the square tubing and drill a 22mm hole through it. Then you weld a 20mm nut on it over the hole. You can now turn a 20mm bolt (works with a 30mm spanner) into the nut and so adjust your height :thumbup: . You can even weld a bigger piece of flat bar onto the bolt for a bit bigger footprint/feet. How's that?
 
Obviously the frame must be solid and strong enough not to bend or twist, but let's hear what the other guys think ;)
 
Tobes, my 2m x 750mm x 750mm tank is on a stand made from 50x50x5 angle iron with 6 legs and cross braces at the top and bottom and it's holding about 1000 kg's.
 
sorry guys my bad, had measured my tube-ing tis weekend and its 30mm x 30mm x 2mm thickness,so its good tube-ing
