[GSMguy]

2" steel 48"L,27"W,44"T

Adjustable low profile light rack, i think im going to put a light mover on it.

and painted

the Stand was built by Josh Root in apple creek, he is on RC but his username escapes me,this thing is really strong.

Josh did a great job with mine he is a welder by trade so its not hard for him, but i was really impressed with how well done the light stand is done, Zero Edge light Tree eat your heart out!

How are you going to skin it? magnets and wood?

 

[GSMguy]

yep, but i have some time to get that done, for now ill leave it like this.

How much $$$ does something like that run about?
BTW That is a fine looking stand, and sturdy too.
Job well done!!!!!

 

[GSMguy]

Well i worked out a trade with the Builder, for $$$ plus some reef equipment, but every stand is different.

this is the first one tank stand he has done and wasnt sure what he would do for pricing, i can say that it was not outrageous but the materials alone cost $250

its real sturdy and really clean i am impressed.

I had fun building that stand, from the time u told me what u wanted til the time it was done is exactly what i had pictured in my mind. I just wish steel prices were lower. But if i ever build a stand for my tank i'm taken a loan out and goin for stainless!

 

[GSMguy]

haha stainless really is the ultimate, polished up with a nice clear coat that would look awesome

Josh just dropped off the stand i should be moved to DC and have the tank setup by tuesday night, cant wait to see what it looks like.

thats it drove me over the edge must build new tank now, thanks lol. Dang wish i would have made a spot where you could of hung all ur controls and sum kind of way to route ur cables. but then again the skin should hide all that.

 

[GSMguy]

Ya once I get the skin on it it will be super clean

Thanks again josh the landlord really loved it
