vince0 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hello folks, I just acquired a 180 gallon tank for free, but I didn't get a stand with it. Does anyone know the best place to get a stand locally, either steel or wood? I'd really like to have the stand before thursday, because that's when the tank is scheduled to arrive and I really don't want to have to lift it twice :P Any advice will be muchly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince0 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Make it Vince! So much cheaper! I know its going to be cheaper, I can get the steel to make it for $55 and I've got a welder buddy that can put it together for me for a fee, Im just a little worried that its not going to have the same holding potential as one designed by a manufaturer. I know going this route will cost me about a third of the price of one from the LFS. Im just wondering if thats the only route other than going to the LFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punman Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 When I bought a 180 from Gold Aquarium, I had a metal stand ordered too. I'm sure it was made in Calgary. Don't remember the exact cost but I can check my receipts later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Stand, who needs it?? According to my feline assistant, Maddie, all fish tanks should be at cat height for ideal viewing. So a few of my tanks are on the floor for her aesthetic pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
