    Heavy duty slides

    I had 2 TV Stands on Wheels. Was awesome height for a Red Sea 250 Max. Pulled 2 supports from the middle tier and 2 extra wheels from the one unit before I sold it and used that to reinforce the one I used for the Tank Stand. I was able to lower the water level and roll the entire tank on my...
