Does anyone make stands
I'm getting a 60 cube and would like a nice looking sturdy stand for it

I'd do it myself but I work
Crazy hours

Ask Kirk at Headie Corals in North Haven. Amazing work.

yes, wood & metal...

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jan 21, 2016

Prefer wood over metal because I don't want to see the sump

Once you get your stand post some pictures. I would be interested in seeing what you end up with. When I was starting my 93 I also considered hiring someone to do the job, but did not know anyone who does this.

I have a custom for my 93.

I just found pictures of your stand. I like the rustic look.

I just started my 180 stand. I'm running it with no front center brace so my huge sump will be visible when doors are off/open. Adding thermostat controlled cabinet fans to keep cool/dry inside. Also adding side cabinet for apex and controls. It's going to be slick. If u need one built or help txt me. 8603825870

To bad you do not live in the southeast. I would build you one out of what ever you wanted, designed on CAD.

There are a few threads on R2R to reference and YouTube is always helpful. I am just about complete on my stand build and found both sources very helpful.

I picked up a Kreg jig setup and it helped a lot!
