Does it have to be steel. I've had some smaller stands made from Aluminum.

Thanks Joe fot the info..

RedDmon: it is for a 375 gallon tank, don't know if aluminum can handle... hadn't thought about it though...

so on 300+ u cant use 2x4's/2x6's? im asking cause i think im getting a 300g but it doesnt come with a stand, if u use steal what do u cover it with to look nice?

illal, I have a cabinet guy building an enclosure around it. I was concerned about using wood for a tank that big.

I had my steel stand built by the same person that NYVP did.

But give SeaVisions a call or email (Info@seavisions.com / 954-385-2899). Their web site (www.seavisions.com) states they make stands out of aluminum.

Look for "Complete Stand Alone Filtration Systems With Aquarium Frame Ready For Your Aquarium" and "New Marine Grade Aluminum Frames with CADS and DialySeas" on the following link for pictures. These stands are way bigger than a 300 gallon...:

I had my stand galvanized, and then I primed and painted it with steel boat paint. I used the Petit paint products. Expensive, but awesome stuff!!!
