    Just to be cautious, its best to make sure the shelf max. rated load is at least 3-4x more than the actual tank weight (in case of unknown variables).

    Wheel coasters on such shelving are usually okay for smaller tanks, but do be careful if you use those with larger tanks (ie 2ft and above)... just a slight move can create mini tsunami in the tanks and get water splashing all over the floor.

    What sizes of tanks are you planning to put on the rack? Many small tanks or a few large ones?

    You are better off finding a sturdy second hand 2 feet stand from the Marketplace or online auction sites if there's any. Just not worth risking it by placing the tank all filled up on a rack with castors. I think rough pricing for a second hand stand is around $50-60 for the common wrought iron types.

    Re: Anyone can recommend me a cheap rack for fisk tank

    Don't use this type of rack for fish tanks. They are supposed take quite heavy loads but not fish tanks, which are really heavy.
    Collapsed goods are not a problem, but a collapsed fish tank is disastrous. If you use that, you may have problems LATER on.

    The proper stand to use is either solid wooden or cast iron stands.

    Ya. I was thinking to use similar rack and started a thread earlier on to ask for opinion. After all the feedback, I decided not to use these kind of storage rack. You can get <$50 for second hand wrought iron, or new normal iron type. I found this supplier Fordson enterprise previously, 2ft detachable metal rack for $45. You may consider.

    You can place your 2ft tank and your food and airpump by the side since there's a 17cm space beside

    Now I am looking for a 3-tier stand.

    Is it a 3ft stand? Possible for it to go into a taxi? (My friend is quite interested but he has no car),

    Better to get a proper support for fish tank. May have to sacrifice a little bit of money but assurance guaranteed rather than one day the 'budget' rack give way.. Disaster bro and worst still safety compromised.
