I am not sure if you are using a 1978 pricing catalog for stand prices. Or think shipping is free.They is couple of steel and aluminum companies that can work with you. Aluminum is a bit more expensive unless you buy it bulk. Steel i built my past 210 gallon with a friend and worked out the price. Not sure what's out there right now since I'm not in the market for one. Some diy wood stands as well but obviously steel or aluminum is more durable nowadays.
