I am in Easton, Pennsylvania and looking for someone to build me a 55 gallon stand! I don’t need something overly fancy but I would like it to be study. I have already contacted several local carpenters and they either weren’t willing to do it or it’s going to be insanely expensive and buying one would be more affordable. The dimensions should be the last photo and if anyone is willing to or has experience (you don’t have to be a carpenter) please message me! I am also willing to pick it up should someone be willing to make one or if anyone has any recommendations on people who do. I am looking for at least a shelf on the bottom but regardless of the design it doesn’t have to be painted. I got my other small stand from Cuboid Nature Aquarium and I’m waiting to hear back but the price of it I think may be way out of my budget from them.

i’m a handy guy but i’ve actually never built a stand!

does it have to be wood? you can buy the metal frames stand from petco at a fraction of the price and just put a slab of wood on the bottom for your shelf? with some 2x4’s under for support?

Those make me too nervous and the max weight is a lot less than saltwater tanks!
