What are the dimensions of your sump and chambers?
My stand was made with 2 pieces of 3/4" pine plywood (4 x 8 sheet). Each piece was $25 at Lowes. Inside epoxy paint was $16. Construction adhesive was about $8. All the pocket screws, stain, clear coat I already had. For small/medium size tanks, plywood only works great and its cheap. I used a few magnets for the door too.
Also since its a box design, it will contain a compartment leak.
My slightly over sized peninsula stand (2x4 & 2x8 frame) for my 180 which includes a sub floor 5 doors and a pull out shelf $148.
We saved money in several locations including milling much of the trim ourselves. Also we did not skin it with plywood. The stand frame was plenty sturdy on its own so we used 1/4" to skin it. The hardware is reclaimed from our kitchen remodel project. However i have to admit that we didn't buy screws and such because we already had them. The canopy cost about the same because we purchased all the crown.that's impressive for $148. I'd think the moulding alone would cost that much.
Ive built both wood and welded tubesteel stands. Neither are very cheap to build. For the size Ive built i beleve they have cost me the same amount.
Lol yep, my stand frame is over built as well. I would much prefer to be safe than sorryThey get up there. I think I spent about 300 in materials. 2x6's alone were 80. This was for a 48x 24 stand that will never ever have a problem. Until I have to lift it
That sure is one big fish. How much does it cost to feed?
