    you should ask who made the stand at your lfs. they should know. I actually really like that... if you find out a place that can do that online, let me know. Il keep my eye out for you as well. we'll keep each other posted.

    this is their site
    http://www.1000islandaquarium.com
    They made that tank. They build custom ones, but are kinda pricey. That tank goes for $4,500.00

    Generally the better route to go would be through a local dealer if possible. Their markup on special order stuff like tanks is generally pretty low, let them eat the huge shipping costs on heavy objects.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    Try doing a search for metal work shops that you can contact and see if they can build something like that paticular stand you want. All you need is the skeletal structure for the stand(wood), so you might need to go throught two places possibly, unless you know how to do all that stuff and have the equipment to do it.
