Any stand builders out there?

Hello folks,
Just wondering if there is anybody out there that would build me a stand for my new tank? Or if not maybe some plans so I might try it on my own? Thanks.

I could, or could give you a hand

I have a homemade stand & hood for a 75 or 90 gal. tank. 2x4 frame & solid oak face and doors. Can send pics if interested.

I'm guessing his new tank is gonna be a big one

Hi Dan,

This thread has a pretty simple design. You just cut the wood to your dimensions & skin it with some nice wood.

Thanks Ed. I did a little searching but didn't run across that thread.
Thanks Erik for the offer on helping me build the stand. You are correct my good man it is a little bit bigger then the 90 gallon. It's around 127 gallons.
And thanks Dave for the gracious offer I will be needing something a little wider for this tank.

Any pictures yet? We bought a used 300 that came with a stand built from what looks like 2" square steel tubing. I could take some pics of that stand, but I have little idea how it was done.

I built a wooden stand for my 520 that was still solid and square when I sold the tank. It was built like a house (minus the drywall) and had a top made of 2 by 4's on 1.5" centers. Four to six guys could lift it. I used exterior cedar siding on the outside of the stand, with solid cedar trim.
