Paandemonium Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 A grand for a stand? Nope. Not going to do it. KITTY TRY AND BUILD ONE Don't you have any friendly neighborhood lesbians? We can alllllllll build things lol Theres also a small local carpenter(which may be difficult to find in NY because well.... NY but if Jersey isnt out of your range then Jersey is where you should go....everything is cheaper across the river) will usually give you great craftsmanship on the cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment

Veng Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm pretty sure the S-650 comes with a stand, so why would you need to build your own? 4 Quote Link to comment
Lawnman Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 What are you looking for in a stand? Size finish etc. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I want it to hold my RSM130D but be longer to fit a bigger sump. Black color. Ideal size LxWxH 36x20x36 Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I want it to hold my RSM130D but be longer to fit a bigger sump. Black color. Ideal size LxWxH 36x20x36 if you're still thinking of using a 40b for your sump, then the length will need to be just a bit longer . Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm open to suggestions and ideas. None of the pre built stands I found are 20 wide. That's the minimum I need. if you're still thinking of using a 40b for your sump, then the length will need to be just a bit longer . no I will get a custom sump. The stand dimension is more important If I could just look up available sizes for popular manufacturers I can make it work. The sump size can be anything as long as it is bigger than what I have right now. But I can't seem to find a good way to search. Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Grrr. I can't fit a 20wide tank on an 18wide stand. Or my choices would be easy. The next size available is 48*24*.. Which is too long (I can live with the 24 wide) Quote Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 This isn't exactly sump dimensions, but you could use this and simply use the measurements and some math to configure your own sump size for the appropriate gallon size. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/aquarium_sizes.php Quote Link to comment

I need a bigger stand and I will get a custom sump built for it. Gallons do not matter to me because it will be bigger than what I have now. Quote Link to comment
