ez-tubing 60+g stand build?

[Saltwaterwill]

Hello everyone this is my first time I post a question ever since I joined this awesome forum full of info...you go reef2reef! ...anyway I'm looking to upgrade to a 60 cube and was wondering if anyone has ever used
Ez-tubing ONLY to build your reef tank stand. I like a open stand look. Aluminum t slot I think is more on the pricy side so that's why I'm leaning towards ez tubing. Any thoughts? Thanks

Anyone?

Do you mean this product?

Having used the aluminum tubing to build my light rack, I would say no to the aluminum tubing.
I haven't seen what the steel tubing would be like, but I'm a little doubtful.

I think if you like the open look, the t-slot is your best bet.

If there were a way to prevent racking ( side to side or back and forth), maybe.

How about quick frame tubing from 80/20 anyone? I think I've seen someone use it from this forum but i can't find the thread... aluminum t slot is really nice but is more on the pricey side, quick frame is much cheaper I'm just worried about too much weight?

I believe I have seen threads where people have used the 80/20 material. Maybe on a different forum.
