Hi Aahz
I use myself 16 gage steel so I can give a guess out of experience, im not an
engineer.
I would say your 8 sets will hold the weight very well, until the tank climb on
a rock and
most of his weight is on only one set. I would be afraid in such a case the
metal will bend.
This might be prevent if you add a perpendicular piece to stop it from bending.
This said
its just a guess, I wish I am wrong.
