Wes, I have the same problem where I am... Gotta wait for the next house before I can go bigger. But with the costs of the hobby where they are anyway, I just love my 29 nano

I raised it 10 inches. There was a slight amount of give when i bounced on it with all my weight so i put a cross bar across the back. May also look into attaching it to a stud in the wall, it has a narrow wheelbase

Ok the tank is the basement still. I am going to get some rustolem Black paint today to brush on. I dont want to spray it in the basement.

Nikki, what kind of white paint did you use for your stand? Does everyone think it is neccesary to paint the inside of the their stand?
