Re: New wallet to empty
Stands can cost almost as much as the tank. You can save money by building your own. I suggest you calculate how much the tank will weigh, especially the water and rock. Then you and a big friend who weigh as much as the expected tank weight, should sit on your homebuilt stand to see if it wobbles.

Re: New wallet to empty
what about that fat guy picture that was posted in one of the threads. The one where the guy was on that tv special. He could sit on it.

Re: New wallet to empty
You'd need a forklift to get that guy moving anywhere other than the couch though.
I actually found an awesome deal when I was calling around for tank prices. A fish store about an hour away went bankrupt, and the building owner (used to run the place but retired) is selling everything dirt cheap to pay off the wholesalers. I fully intended to build my own tank, but there's a gorgeous oak stand with a 125g tank. Originally on sale for $1000, but marked down to 770. Heck, wood alone for a solid oak stand like this would run to the $350 range. Add the nice paneled doors and the time it would take to build it, stain it, and make sure it was perfectly level... I can't see building the stand myself for less than $600 all said and done. So I'm going down to take one more look at it tonight and I'll probably bring it home. Think a mini-van can hold a 125 gallon tank and the stand?? I better measure it first... I still don't plan on doing anything with the tank for a couple months, but this is a pretty solid deal for now, so I'll get it and just put it in the basement while I assemble the rest of the stuff I want.

Re: New wallet to empty
If you fold down the two seats you might squeeze it in on top if the seats are removeable you should take them out. itll be a lot easier on your back and the tank. if not home depot rents trucks for 19.99 where I live.
