Pictures of Aquarium Stands and Cannopies for a 180 gal., please!!

[mariocaz]

Hi guys,

Well I am planning and building everything of my new 180 gal. reef aquarium and want to know if you can help me with some picture, websites, links to give me an idea how the carpenter can do my stand and my cannopy for my aquarium.

I want it modernist both, maybe minimalist or something like that.

This will be the size of the Aquarium

71" Large x 27.5 Wide x 20 High

All the cannopy and the stand will be of wood.

Every idea I will appreciate it very much my friends. :rollface:

Cheers,

Mario

Click my little red house, mine is 40" tall and 32" wide that's a 210 so it should be the same as a 180 unless it's a custom

best stands I ever saw were from bluereefaquatics.com not sure if they are still in business

OR I really like the look of the all glass aquarium MODERN SERIES ....and they have just came out w/ an ornate design thats really nice but $1000 plus for just a 75g


Do a search for stands on ebay ---this guy from texas makes really nice stands/canopies shipped to your house for $500 180g
JT from KC thats where Ill prob go when the time is right

Thank you a lot guys!!!

Very nice stands and canopies, really thank you very much.

I found this and liked a lot.

What do you think ?

Also no problem is you put me pictures of stands and canopies with a different size, because withou a problem I can use that design and fit it in the size that I need it.

Cheers,

Mario

Here you go! I just finished up my new canopy. Now all I have to do is finish the right side of the stand -

Right now, the top is still open. I built this as light as I could and have not yet built the top which will be 1/4" plywood. The top will only be to contain the light.

It was an upgrade from this one.

The new one hinges from the wall just like the old one.

Very nice Canopy AcroSteve!!!!

You give me a very good ideas.

Which ones are those reflectors ??

 

[Ironsheikh]

black is the glass cages setup, no? I like the canopies that open from the front

 

[mariocaz]

Yes that is right.

Those are Lumenac III. I have 3 of them also on my 180 and would highly recommend them. I have an open top. I'll see if I can scrounge up some photos.

the stand is difficult to see in this one

 

[mariocaz]

Yes please some photos, to take a look in your canopy.

 

[mariocaz]
