I'm getting my 135 gal soon. I want an iron stand because for one , it will be over a register, second because I only want it to be 19" tall. I know of someone that could make me one,, only thing that scares me is .. if they can build it to hold the weight of such a tank.. 1400lbs... Does anyone here have pictures that I can look at of iron stands ?

That shouldn't be a problem. 135G is approximately 1080lbs.++. I used to have an iron stand for my 250G and it was fine. Just make sure the register can hold the weight. Don't worry about the stand itself.

I have a iron stand for sale actually that I used to use with my 125 gallon. I believe the dimensions are the exact same (except for height) as the 135gal. I only want $10 plus S/H for it. Its pretty heavy, so hopefully the $10 is not too much for it. I recently made an oak stand for my tank, so I dont need it anymore!
