Paul, if you can post some pics of various designs so I can get an idea of what can be done, that would be great.

Here are some of the stands they built for us.
I don't always remember to take pics there are a couple really custom one's I still need to get a hold of the owners to get pics.
This is a close up of the exterior welds they grind them down so they are finished.

Note: The top of this one is a 1-1/2" x 3" tubing allowing spans up to 96" with out center legs for better access to the sump area.

This is the top of the one above we used the 1-1/2" x 3" tubing laying side ways so the customer could use a 72" sump underneath and still put a 72" frag tank on top.

Hope that help's and if there is anything special you want done like light rack's or other option's just ask these guy's can do just about anything.
They can also do stainless steel if needed.
For delivery local the driver charges $40 to the SF Bay Area it's like $160 San Jose area $180.
