Nice Stands question

1990 Views 13 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Guest
My wife told me I have have a terrarium setup in the living room IF (!!!) I make it look really appealing. That's no problem. What is a problem is the absence of attractive stands in the aquarium industry.

Does anyone use a really nice stand that's atypical for terrarium display?

Does anyone have tips where to find something both attractive AND sturdy?

FYI, it's a 20 gallon high terrarium.

Cheers!

Unless money is not a issue build one. I can say that tank stands are one of the most overpriced things you can every buy. Ok next to cars, but thats another topic.

Here is a pic of the stand I built, cost me about $60 or so in parts, and some other tools I did not have. It needs a better door, but has worked well. I priced stands like it before hand and they were from $100-400. I do plan to replace it with a stand that holds 2 tanks in the near future, but this has worked well.

Oh ya, it is taller than most other tanks stands so you don't have to lean over to look in. Big plus for me at least.
You have any pics yet DrunkMunky?
