Aquarium stand Inquiry

Postby vbahadur24 » March 17th, 2024, 1:26 am

I'm looking for a carpenter/someone who's willing to build an aquarium stand for a reasonable price. Can someone hook me up?

for a couple hundred you can’t beat that price
the steel will cost close to that plus labour welding and painting

The exact size dimensions of the aquarium is 36 × 18 × 18. I don't know how much bigger the stand usually has to be though. Can you give me an idea? And metal is most preferred.

Just remember
Every Gallon of water weighs about 7.5 lbs

So a simple 4 foot x 24" x 24 " aquarium can easily weight over 800 lbs, if you live in an upstairs then you also have to thinkl about the loading of the flooring.

last thing you want is an aquarium in your place bursting due to a belly in the middle of the stand

I'm placing it on the first floor. Also, the aquarium weighs around 420 pounds.
