Stand recommendation

[BC United]

Hi BC United,

If you're not dead set on the 29 gallon and haven't ordered lights... I have a stand for a slightly larger tank (36"x18" footprint).

Here's an old pic of the stand with my 50 breeder tank...



and an even older one with the stand open. (That's a 20 long tank as the sump).


I'm upgrading to a larger tank and am getting ready to sell this stand/canopy. I built it with help from a carpenter friend. Its made of oak (combo of veneer plywood and solid lumber). Has access for wires/plumbing and child safety locks on the doors already (successfully kept sump safe from my toddler). I'm asking $250 for it. I also have a 2 bulb T5HO retrofit and an external overflow that I can include for an extra $50.

If you're interested please PM me and we can talk about the details.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

That is a nice looking stand and I actually do like the dimensions of 40 or 50gallon breeder. But, right now I do not think I want to switch tank sizes, and I do already have the components for the new metal halide light I will be using on the 29. I am on a very tight budget and do not think I can afford the switch to a larger tank. Plus, I have run the idea of getting a 50gallon breeder past my wife in the recent past and it was a no go. At the moment I think it is best to stick with the current setup. Thanks for your generous offer.
