Cannot find a 40 Breeder stand!

[Cdodge1]

I just moved into a new apartment, and I'm upgrading to a 40 gallon. I have the tank already; but for the life of me, I cannot find anywhere that sells 40 breeder stands( that can house a sump). I know I could put it on a stand meant for a larger tank but I want the sides of the tank to be as flush with the edges as possible. I don't have a shop to work in, or the clamps required, so DIY is not a road I want to head down (Mostly out of consideration for my roommates haha). If anyone knows a place that sells some or someone who'd build it for a reasonable price, I'd love to know!

Thanks for any help guys!

I've been looking for a steel stand for a 40 breeder, have yet to find one. I built my own but it's literally 1/2 inch short to fit a 20 Long under it, dumb move on me.

Same footprint as a 65G standard tank, since 40B aren't generally a common tank used overall in the aquarium hobby, when your looking around ask for a 65G stand.

Thanks! That'll make the search easier!

If you haven't found one yet Lowes sells a steel stand that is perfect for a 40B. I got mine last year for $79.98. Make sure you get the 1000lb per shelf version. They also sell an 800lb per shelf that looks exactly the same, box and all. Here's the link:

You can also use the other half of the stand by itself independent of the other half due to the way it connects together. My other half is holding shoes in my closet.

And here's my setup from a few months ago:

I bought the exact same stand from Lowes for my 40 breeder 2 weeks ago and it is working out great. You have 6" of room on each end of the tank and 3" in the front and back, the shelves can also be set at any height you want. I cut the steel beams down because the unit comes with 2 sets of vertical steel supports that are 36" tall. That seemed too tall for me so I cut 6" off and brought its total height down to 30" which still allows for a 15 g QT below with all my equipment and power cords tucked out of view.
