Making custom stand out of steel and iron also wantedd to know if anyone had any ideas for painting stand . I was thinking about powder coat but not sure how it will hold up with saltwater any ideas and suggestions please thanks.

Rhino line the stand could be an option, as well as powder coating probably the better of the 2, but I don't see why you couldn't use some type of expoxy paint to seal the metal. Powder coating will protect the metal, but if you scratch or gouge it, they it would be exposed. I know if you do a little searching you can find threads/pics and talk about how the different materials hold up.

UV shouldn't be any issues....The light is being directed into the tank, and I'm figuring or assuming sand on the bottom, so figuring UV would really be none existent IMO......Some might have a different opinion, but I'm also thinking the metal stand would have some sort of skin, or covering over top so again not really exposed.
