Fantastic stuff, Nikki! Awesome.

The stand may be almost perfectly level (within 1/32 of an inch I think), but I'm sure the floor is not. I'm anticipating having to shim the stand to keep the structural integrity.
That's what happened to us. Our stand had to be shimmed because the floor in our 20-yo house is anything but level.

We also put a "rim" of that pink solid styrofoam insulation ("foamular", I think it's called) under the outside edges of the tank, where it rests on the stand. Just an added security to absorb any weight flux.

Thanks again for posting this!
