Homemade stand

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very nice job, also welcome to MFK
 
it's very easy to get to the 29 gallon for feedings. However, I put the tank in through the back so I'm not sure how easy it would be to remove the entire tank, but I can't see a reason for doing that. The door that you can see in the pictures opens upwards so that I can open the lid of the 29gallon.

thanks again for the kind words.

those were some fast responses....


thanks for all the kind words. It wasn't very hard to build at all. I built a smaller, much less detailed stand for 2 ten gallon tanks, and that one only took about 3 hours to build. The stand is very high, but I think it looks pretty good. I still have no idea what to put in that 75 gallon tank on top, any ideas? a snakehead of a smaller variety would be idea, but i need to find one first.

Snake heads are illegal...sorry...but you can get some BICHIRS or you could do a really cool african chiclid tank! OR you could do 2 Oscars...The 75 has endless possiblities....
Where in Illinois are you located? I could get some numbers of the local fish stores in your area.....I work for a pet supply distributer in milwaukee, and I have some good contacts down there... PM me and I will get back to you tommorw with some numbers!

Kick@ss stand/s there, I wish I thought of that when I didnt my 120gal stand. Who knows maybe my next stand I'll do something Similar, I still have my 75Gal to do a stand for.

Great Job. :thumbsup: :clap
 
nice stand. how did you do the background on the 29? how much did it cost to build it?
 
the stand probably cost me around $100.

Just 4 or 5 2x4's
maybe a dozen 1x6 I think
hinges, the handle, then stain and poly.


the background on the 29 is a "habiscapes" background. I lost all of my bookmarks, but I bought it from a place online called something like "herpsupplies.com" that may not be the correct link though. I had to cut it down a bit and silicone it to the wall, it's made of hard styrofoam and looks pretty cool. If you really want a link, get back to me and I can search for you. They don't come in huge sizes though.
