Thanks, Gruni. Weird that you couldn't order the shelf. I ordered mine from the US, along with a skull hide I couldn't find for sale in Australia, and no one complained. It was some time ago, so maybe they changed their minds.
One other nice thing about the grippy pads is that they've stopped the stand from rocking. I've put the aquarium up on the stand. All I need is the hasps I ordered from the US. I have spent too much time and money on this project and it probably would have been cheaper to buy an enclosure outright. Still, I've learned a lot.
Some pictures of the converted aquarium that I've already posted in another thread, but I put them here again just to keep everything in one place:
