I am thinking of building my own stand for my 20 gallon but i was wondering How much a pre-made wooden one with doors and everything would cost?
My dads freind would help me built it, hes a carpenter.
Home built furniture grade stands cost about the same as garbage LFS stands. It is very easy to overbuild and over trim for less money. I'm a big fan of custom cabinet stands over store bought. My custom stand looks hundreds of time nicer than anythign I could get in a shop for $400 and only cost me $350 and came with matching canopy.
I didn't build my own, but I imagine it would feel a whole lot more rewarding to look at the tank and know that I had. Let us know what you decide to do!
