Alternative stands

[Ahogue21]

Well was planning on an 80/20 stand for 2 lagoon 25s and an sr 60 (yes i have a thing for aio)

Then i came across this weight rated at 6600lbs and can be had in any height,length and width, multiple powdercoat colors and a huge variety or top choices 1x2in tube steel

So thoughts on this as a stand?

Bottom pic is kinda my idea on lay out

I'd worry that it doesn't have much bracing against racking side to side.

Cant be any worse than the cheap mdf stands most basic tanks come with

Looks interesting, where is it sold?

That is pretty great - lots of options for tops, you can add bottom shelves that are steel reinforced, light racks, etc. Seems like reasonable pricing too. I'd want to ask them about the load carrying characteristics though - 6600lbs distributed how? With zero deflection?
I notice the tops overhang the steel structure quite a bit - I wouldn't want to put a 24"x48" tank on their 24"x48" stand, for example.

I would call around to your local fabrication shops and get a few quotes. To me a nice wood stand looks nicer and doesn't rust.

Not really a wood fan and would like somthing different if i went that route my uncle is a custom cabinet builder anyway

Planning to call on monday and verify dimentions

The website mentions that they can take customization requests, but if it comes to that then you can probably get something made locally for less. Especially once you consider shipping cost.
