180 gallon stand and canopy

[pontius]

take a second to go to the big auction site. type in the search box....."180 gallon stand" and you'll see there is a stand and canopy with a BIN price of $574.95.
does this stand look like it will get the job done? I asked the seller if it was braced very well and he said that it was, but I know 180 gallons is a lot of weight. I also know that I could build a stand to work for much cheaper, but no way would it look that nice.

You could make it look that nice.

Stand looks good but that canopy will be a pain. The way it opens it looks like it will be really hard to get in the tank, especially the bottom.

Yeah.

574.95 for an UNfinished stand???? that is quite a price...all you're paying for is the instructions and precut would shipped..might as well just go find a nice book or plans online, or heck, even someone here and get and cut the wood yourself....

Not to mention the satisfaction of building your own stand and the ability to customize it.
