    Default DIY by somebodyelse aquarium stand?

    Hi there,

    I'd definitely do it myself, but im just a nerd.......hammer + me= missing finger.

    So I was wondering if there were people, or places that you could have a custom stand built here in BC? Not too expensive or what not---this is quite a huge project though; somewhere around 8 by 3ish?

    Thanks in advance!

    sometimes you luck out in King Ed's, i got my 29 gallon + stand for like $130, people who leave the hobby sometimes give the set ups to the shop to sell, then they gave me a break on substrate, free piece of driftwood, and a bunch of free starter fishies

    What style of stand are you looking for? Open frame, or cabinet style? What colour do you want it painted or do you want a wood grain look? What are the exact measurements you are looking for? Let me know and I can work out a price for you.

    If you re word your title to something like this (just an example)
    LF- Custom made aquarium stand
    LF- Fabricator or carpenter for custom aquarium stand
    you might find more responses, IMO

    There are several examples of Target's work here, and I think you'll be very happy with the result vs. the price compared to commercial stands you get at LFS's.
