emmajaneholly Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Okay, folks - I have the tank now I need a stand. I bought an Aqueon 48x24x24 drilled aquarium with dual overflows, and I am thinking about making the stand or purchasing it from my LFS (I'm in Olympia - so kind of far North!). But, I thought I'd check here and see if anybody had some ideas or a stand up for grabs. New it would cost $240 so I'm trying to be economical. Thanks!

wanareef Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Build it out of 2"x4"'s like most of us do - (see your other thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Or weld then together like I do. I can make you one it will be stronger than one from a LFS but more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmajaneholly Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I know! I want to, and likely will, but I thought I would take the lazy approach first and see if anybody had one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmajaneholly Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 How much would it cost to get a welded one? Is there a way to add doors or something to it to hide the sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 How much would it cost to get a welded one? Is there a way to add doors or something to it to hide the sump? The welded ones are slick!!! People usually make a "skin" and attach it with magnets. They end up looking amazing and they are supper functional because once the skin is removed you have a ton more room to work. I know Kim and Beth have one, I'll try to find you a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
