As a hobby I make stands and canopies. After seeing what stores charge for particle board crap I just hate to see people spend hundreds on flimsy pieces of junk. I live right in the middle of California ( around fresno ). The basic ones that I build are made of biurch and pine. The canopies have a lifting top and a door in the front. I have made up to a 72-24-32 inch tall stand and the majority of the canopied are about 10 inches tall.
My e-mail is prlem74@sbcglobal.net
All measurments are rough since tanks are different sizes but here are some examples. I will stain for $25.00 but do not paint solid colors.
48-13-32 high with 10 inch canopy $175.00
48-18-32 high with 10 inch canopy $250.00
72-18-32 high with 10 inch 2 door canopy $$300.00
Here is a picture of a 90 gallon and is an example of what the basic one looks like. I also make them out of Oak but they cost alot more because of materials. I do not own a buisness and just enjoy this as a hobby. :happy:

the canopy door is an 18 inch door centered on the canopy. All edges are routed round and Modifications are easy enough to do like a canopy lid that extends over the top.

Bump.
the sides and doors are now made out of birch and the doors are 16 inches wide. I can also do Oak for $50.00 - $100.00 more and will stain and seal the Oak for free.

Your cabinets look very nice, and the prices are fantastic! Maybe you SHOULD have a business! Doesn't everyone dream of doing something they love for a living?
Have you ever shipped one of these? I'm researching putting together a system now, and would be looking at the largest. I wonder if it'd be cheaper to buy one local at their inflated prices...

VERY NICE!! I would like to buy one eventually for my 125 that I am getting. Will you ship? Also, is it possible to only buy the stand and not the canopy? If so, how much would it be? I plan to use my 55 as a sump/fuge...how does the tank rest on the stand? Is it just the lip thing on the inside. If so, I can just put the 55 below before I set the tank on it...otherwise is there a way to not have a piece of wood on the back or something?
