PicO Custom?

I am working with PicO on a custom 32g and cabinet. I anticipate that most people are happy with PicO custom tanks but any feedback on custom cabinets? Quality for Price?

 

I currently use an Ikea cabinet and I am constantly worried about its stability.

Cabinets are always a rip off and they are flimsy. Just reinforce your IKEA one imo

+1. I'm using an old TV stand that I was going to donate. A little reinforcement and paint and I have a much nicer looking cabinet. As for PICO i have a PICO III I got last year and it's been great. I just ordered at custom similar to an IM 30L. Can't wait to get it.

My request is for a 30x16x16. What are your dimensions? My only inclination for custom cabinet is clean lines on the sides.

My PICO will be 37 x 18 x 13. A little larger than the IM 30L but will fit the cabinet better and the space. Here's what the cabinet looks like. I wanted something in this space but didn't want to modify it because I might be moving. If I do move I can just take the cabinet with me.

Everything a poster writes is an opinion. I never see any point pointing out that your opinion is an opinion, its redundant. Most things we say are facts are just opinions too. What makes them facts (still opinions) is how accurate they are, the more accurate they are, the more usefull they are. Inaccurate opinions are useless.

 

IME, for in my experience. Thats different. This hobby is so wide that something we know or think is fact, "you cant have a reef tank in 1 gallon of water". This was a fact until Pico Brandon shared his videos 15 years ago. Now most of us know a hobbyist can have a reef tank in 1 gallon of water (if they do the right things). That fact, that opinion, is now inaccurate; because Pico Brandon shared his experience.

 

Anyway, Chris at PiCo builds wonderful sturdy cabinets. Mine is made from red oak plywood, because thats the material I asked for. It is sturdy and heavy. Shipping cost more than the stand. Thats my experience, its accurate. And makes your opinion inaccurate.
