Wheels on the aquarium stand?

I have a 120L tank on a cabinet stand, and here in Spain where the vast
majority of floors are tiled it is very easy to slide along and move, even for one person, but I certainly would be very wary of using wheels, unless you are using those of industrial strength as most just will not stand the strain |

Well actually the wheels could be pretty simple and not overly built
and it would probbaly hold up just fine. The biggest weak link is the axle assembly, and how its attached to the stand overall. They maake a vast assortment of devices that you can easily lift 500 pounds or more with a simple step of the foot, raising it up ands into the lock position, then you can roll it where needed, then step on it again and it unlatches and drops back to the full down position. These devices when installed still allow full complete contact of the frame or stand assembly when in the down position. When up.it matters not as its not meant to be left in the up positioon for any time other than moving. I tend to agree its best to place tank where it needs to be in the first place and not move it around when rearranging the furniture in the room. Some if not most of the typical stands I have seen that are being peddled by lfs under major tank manufacturers nnames leave a lot to be desired.........and I personally would be hard pressed to fit any type of wheels to them......as I sort of view those stands as barely being able to suport them selves yet alone a tank full of water and gravel.

@news.west.earthlink.net: Have any of you ever put wheels on your aquarium stand, in case you have to move the acquarium? Bad idea. Even if you could make such a structure sound enough to support that much weight on wheels, the tank itself may not be able to stand up to being moved around in such a way while full. Plus water holds a lot of inertia, even if you moved it very slowly it wouldn't take very much for a little resonance to build up and then SLOSH SLOSH SPLASH (and possibly CRACK!)... what a mess. |

Wheels rated for that weight are rollers, which typically travel in one direction. Pivoting rollers for that weight require some camber so they orient themselves, and are a more complicated assembly requiring greater structural integrity where they attach to the stand. Besides that i) top heavy (somewhat unsafe to push), ii) the moment of inertia to get it moving might slosh water (as will stopping), and most importantly iii) aquarium stands are designed for a static vertical load, and would be unsafe travelling at any speed (horizontal stress is not a good thing). What I've done is to put a sheet of carpet under the tank stand (assumes the rest of the floor is hardwood or similar slippery surface). Then you can sometimes pull the carpet around, to re-position the tank. Depending on tank size, you may need to remove a quantity of water, clamp ropes to the carpet (wrap rope around a 2x4 and then clamp two 2x4s to the end of the carpet, and then pull on rope). In this manner, the horizontal stress is much less (tank only instead of tank & floor resistance). hth -- www.NetMax.tk |

Lee Valley lists in their catalog wheels that you bolt on with
plates that are good for 1000lbs each. They lock. If you move the tank SLOWLY you'll hve no problems. Actually you can move it QUICKLY, it's not the velocity that gets you it's the acceleration (and deceleration). Don't make any sudden moves. I think it's a cool idea. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |

Even if you could make such a structure sound enough to support that much weight on wheels, the tank itself may not be able to stand up to being moved around in such a way while full. Partial solution to that (tank failure) is to drain about 3/4s of the water. You are still looking at a top heavy structure though. And as was pointed out above and in other responses, the structure of the stand is another area of concern. Many commercial stands are not built with enough structural integrity to add wheels/casters. Easier to do than wheels/casters are teflon funiture sliders ("Super Sliders") that only add 1/4 inch or 1 cm height to the stand and tank. The sliders work well on carpeting, but not necessarily on hardwood or tiled floors. Plus water holds a lot of inertia, even if you moved it very slowly it wouldn't take very much for a little resonance to build up and then SLOSH SLOSH SPLASH (and possibly CRACK!)... what a mess. The intertia in this case is a second significant factor. Unless you rig up some sort of baffles in the tank to limit the distance of the interial waves generated, splashing is going to be a problem. Even with the tank drained 3/4s empty the waves will stir up almost all of the detritus in the gravel making a hideous cloudy mess. -- Cheers, Kurt |

The sliders do a good job, but you will need to remove at least 3/4s of the water and do things slowly. When I've moved either furniture, refrigerators, or aquaria and stands, the lower that you apply moving force (pulling or pushing) the better. The lower the center of force minimizes the tendency to topple the whole structure. And go *slow*. I rather like NetMax's idea of using a sheet of carpeting with wooden battens clamped on the pulling end. -- Cheers, Kurt |
