New 144 half moon aquarium Stand help

bretcummings · 02/12/2019, 03:39 PM

I've been out of the hobby for about 7 years now. I started getting the itch to get back into reefing, and had plans to order an aquarium in the next couple months. I was searching the local classified ads and was able to get a 144 half circle aquarium at a great price. The only issue is finding any information on DYI stands. This tank didn't have a stand, so will be trying to figure this out on my own. Any help or links would be very useful. Thanks

I know this is not a common request but figured someone in the community would have experience. Lol. I've also contacted local fabricators and have had a little luck. One of them quoted me $350 which I thought was very low. Not sure if I trust that considering a person with experience fabricating steel stands quoted me $800(which still isnt to bad).

I built my own for a 54 corner. Look in my blog.
