Hey guys,
I am looking to build a sizable aquarium room and wanted to go with fairly large stacked aquariums (anywhere from 125-240 gallons) on steel stands. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with http://www.steelaquariumstands.com/index.php as they are the only manufacturer that seems to specifically build these? Their cabinetry seems pretty ingenious too and looks like it would definitely make a fish room look very nice!
Or if anyone has had any experience with another steel stand builder, please let me know. Thanks! :)

I built my own steel stands which is what a lot of people with them do if they don't get it from the tank manufacturer. Any steel fab shop can easily build any stand you want. The only problem is making sure it will hold the weight. If you are going with a standard 8x2x2 240 that will be some heavy steel to support the weight with out a center brace. There is a thread on reef central called steel stands let see em or show me your steel stands that has a ton of info on steel thickness and what spans you can do.
