Need a custom stand and canopy made

[tjanowski]

Hello all. My wife and I recently built a house in Windermere and she has given me the ok to start a tank, finally!! I purchased a 65g reef ready tank with a 40g sump. Only problem is I don't have a stand or a canopy. Being a new house, my wife won't allow me to build a stand, which I've done in the past and I don't want a generic one neither. So, I need one made. Does anyone know of a place/person within an hour of Windermere that can build a stand and canopy? Thanks for the suggestions.

I know the guy for the job...PM cstires. He is a perfectionist and his work is far superior to OEM. Here is a link to some of his work:

I looked at the pictures that were in the link that was provided (the one showing his tank build). His stands are extremely nice and something that my wife and I would love to have. So, i'm pm him and see where that takes us.

Does anyone know of a company that would build a stand, because if Chris doesn't have the time or want to do it, i'm back at stage 0. Thanks for all the helpful replies.

I'll see if I can post some pictures after the kids go to sleep tonight. Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Tim, I'd be happy to talk to you about your stand, just shoot me a PM. I can usually build them in 4-7 days depending on the design, and how much molding I have to make.
