aquarium stands

[wesleh]

Looking to buy a sturdy aquarium stand that is able to support a 75g tank but can't seem to find anything that is $300 or less. Most of the searches I conducted so far has only brought me to petco or other sites where they run $1,000+. Not looking to build as I have no clue on where to start and have no patients to build.

Could ya'll recommend me to some website or local shops that might have what I'm looking for? Thanks.

I would like something like this with shelves and a cabinet area where I can put in and hide the pumps and etc. And then a canopy to go with it if there's room. If not I can get that later. Shoot me a PM! Thanks for your help!

I was going to say that theres a stand from petsmart that has 2 cabinets for filters, and a shelving unit in the center for like 180.00? or so. But after using a stand that isn't completely open under the tank.. I would never buy another one like it again. Not being able to have a wetdry/sump is painful in the long run. I would look for something with no shelves. Would be cheaper and more effective

Just follow the link and you'll see the stand he is speaking of. Looks like a great deal

Those stands are trash, particle board!

I have one of them one time and , I rather have one built if not oceanic, not even aqueon they look nice but wood is not the best.

Eh, honestly... for a 55-75g tank, particle board is fine. Just don't be sloppy and splash water all over the stand. I was just saying to avoid a stand with built in shelves

[Geral]

Is fine but is gonna get ugly when start getting wet , u gonna be perfect to no drop water in the long run , splashes happen unless u have what I call feeder fish lol cause even my trophs splash water

Kinda want to stay away from petco/petsmart brand because of what was mention above. Could you send me a pm with a price of a simple but effective build still? Maybe some pics of your work as well? Thanks

You can also find some on CL. I it's no rush then it pops up once in a while

I broke my 75 gallon tank when moving and have the stand still. It's a basic wood one with three doors. For sale cheap
