Anyone got any ideas on how I could make a anti-roll rig for this omega 74 cu ft tank? 
Steady tank?

I have a small guppy tank and the very first thing I did was wrap 2 layers of 1/2" foam around it (camping sleep mat) and duct taped it. It stands fine on it's own. The foam comes up to the top shoulder and goes all the way down to what would be your table. It stays in the house, otherwise I would lay it down in a bag for transport (with foam wrap). Got to protect that pretty CF eh? They do make a kit to lay it down with a couple of strap on feet and a handle to carry.

I fashioned mine out of PVC and pool noodles. Note the bolting that holds the top section in the event I need to remove it.
I can stand it up or lay it down. I can carry it from the top as well.

You can make your own out of a 3' long, $1 dowel rod that is 1" diameter, cut into 2 12" pieces. Cut 2 1/2"W x 4"H x 10"L pieces of wood for the base.. Use a jigsaw to cut a crescent shaped cradle for the tank to fit in. Draw an 8" circle on cardboard with a pencil compass drawing tool to use as a pattern for the crescent cuts. Drill 1" holes in the boards for the dowel rod and glue and tack them in place. I used screw in eyelets and bungee cord to make the elastic tank holders.
There is a member of this forum who makes very nice 3D printed bases for $40 if you are not inclined to making your own. This one cost less than $5 for the materials. The tank s a 6.8 liter Airguns of Arizona Omega and fill valve.
Instead of using netting, I made a tank protector by wrapping the tank with a layer of waffle cushion kitchen drawer liner. Then I stretched two gray knit ski caps over each end of the tank with one cap having a hole cut for the tank neck. I hand stitched them together at the middle of the tank. I found a very durable velcro scuba tank strap online for $15. For a total expenditure of $25 and a couple of hours of tinkering, you can have a protective covering and anti roll cradle for your tank.

Thanks Humdinger because when I read the topic, I thought about the one that you had made for me and it's another piece that I can call "a work of art" and it works like a charm.

These Bags from Airtanks Plus are nice. Although their kinda of spendy.
