I wish I could make one myself but I'm terrible at woodwork! How much do you think it would cost me to have a tall stand built? or any websites you suggest for a 75 gallon tall stand?
thanks!
thanks!
Where do you find a tall tank stand?

You could build a wood box and set a standard stand on it

Yeah, most pre-made stands are relatively short, so to speak. If making one yourself is out of the question and you don't have a handy friend you can bum a favor off of, I'd go to an LFS near you and see if they have someone they can recommend to build one. They generally deal with custom tanks and stands so it would be a good place to try.

If you are in south florida I'm a welder/ fabricator and have built many steel and aluminum custom stands of all sizes!

Thats true about needing a stool but I think it looks soo much better not having to stoop down to look at a reef tank. The stand that I have now is only 28 inches. Too low for my liking!

Thank you for letting me know! But I think I have found a nice wooden one at my LFS they just brought in for about 300 bucks! I never knew that they could order one in. Its pretty tall! The only downside is that it is not finished but thats ok because I can easily paint it black!

I was in the same boat. I wanted to be able to see the fish tank from no matter where I was sitting in my room. Ended up going 36" high...gotta use a stool tho. I built it myself and just wrapped the stand in 1 x's. IMO, Looks professionally done and I have limited experience.

This.
I wanted my new tank at bar height. So I built a10" high wood box and set the tank
on it. Less than $100 and two evening's work.
