Thats not bad. I have been looking for one, too. I may get one of these. Thanks for the link.
 
i used to work at petco. ya the stands look nice and all but after a while of use they tend to show wear and tear. the doors will start to not line up like they should and they are real easy to chip. the paint is real thin. i always like building my own. since you have such a big tank you should make it your own. peek online they have alot of diy stand plans. if i see any for your tank ill post it. im sure you would spend about the same amount of money or less and you will end up with a way better piece of equipment
 
its not real wood-well its particle board anyway and eventually falls apart and will be in real bad shape if it gets wet but its cheap and looks okay.Try to build one.theres enough diy stands on here to get a "blue print"or idea on.
 
If you really dont want to build one then Id say go for it at a great price.
 
I picked up a 125g tank & stand on sale from petsmart about a year ago. Stand is still in good shape with the exception of the doors. For the price,, eh,, I'd probably get it if I didn't feel like building my own.
 
it would be a fun project if i had some tools and patience...

but until then i'll keep on checkin the craiglist and if nothing comes up in about a week, i'll give the petco stand a shot.

i've actually used a walmart bought stand for my 55G and that held up fine.
