Hey all, I'm in the process of starting to upgrade my set up and I'd like to upgrade my stand. The prices for aquarium furniture in all of the LFS here in Calgary are all a bit too much for me, considering they are MDF or steel frame. My question is if anyone has found some IKEA furniture, or second-hand cabinets, etc....that could be braced and reinforced to act as an aquarium stand. The biggest tank I'll probably go to right now would be a 33 gallon. So the stand would need to hold at least 450lbs, I'd imagine. Or are aquarium stands like one you'd find at bigals or piscies worth the money?

I went out this weekend in hopes to find some reasonably priced bamboo for my tank. I think the fish don't really find it to interesting considering it's just a stick to them but wondering others opinions on it for a planted tank. I went to multiple pet stores and for one small bamboo stick they charge anywhere between $5-$7. Is it just me or is this crazily over priced? Finally I remembered Ikea sell bamboo and purchased 4 stick for about $2 each. I was very unsure about doing this considering it's from Ikea and not a fish store (might have bacteria unknown to the fish world) That's my rant about bamboo prices. Does bamboo do anything for my tank or just make it look interesting?
