Best source for a decent but affordable stand?

Roosterjack · Nov 28, 2019

I am looking to get a stand for a 120g Oceanic to replace the one I got with it. The original was a good but sloppy maintenance by the previous owner has caused a lot of cosmetic damage.

I would much prefer to buy than build as my carpentry skills are pretty close to nonexistent. I am not looking for fancy but do want it enclosed.

Thanks!

Whats your budget? Have you thought about someone local building one for you? The problem with ordering a stand online is the cost of shipping. If you are looking for something simple then maybe this: https://www.aqueon.com/products/furniture/pine-aquarium-stands
They show a 48x24 and can be purchased from Petco or Petsmart. Your local fish store can probably help you out too.

Checkout Econwelding. They are in Illinois. I shipped it to CA. Was well worth the cost. Anyway it is an open design but I may enclose it with magnetic panels down the road.
If you want inexpensive have one built with 2x4 construction and plywood and have it finished to match you setting. I am not a fan of mass produced stands made from fiberboard. Over time they will breakdown. Have seen it happen quite often on used stands I have looked at in the past.
Coated my welded stand with Por 15 too coat and its impervious to salt water. Looks good too.
