Wow! That other thread is something! Made it thru the first 3 pages and then read the last. Bookmarked it for when I intend to build a stand next year or so. Will go back to finish it when I wish to avoid more work...
In the first 3 pages they mainly call the "floaters" screw strips, and describe them primarily as providing ease of construction.
Like I said, I know nothing about physics or engineering. My main concern is not simply overbuilding and ending up with something that is tremendously heavy but not correspondingly strong. Not sure how big a tank I'll go with - 90, 120, or bigger.
