125 gal stand and canopy

[andy4499]

I have a stand and canopy for a 125 gal tank that I am thinking about selling. Would anyone be interested in buying it.

i see that you are taking my advice about building a new canopy! good call buddy

[andy4499]

Yeah I am going to build a new canopy but my wife suggested to me the other day that It would look better In a darker finish (She like the cherry finish) so I am not sure if I want to build both the stand and canopy. If I only do the canopy I will just make it the same color (lite wood finish) as it is now. I will do both if I can find someone to buy the stand in a few days.

Thanks Terry, but I think that is going to be a little out of my price range. I can get the wood cheeper at home depot. I know it is not the best stuff to use, but that is about all that I can afford.

Cabinet faces priced @ $8 for 48" and $11 for 72". (30"tall)
just add doors at $5 each...

that is $21 for the front face of the stand another $11 for the rear...forget how much the sides are

[andy4499]

The canopy is the main thing that I would need wood for. The stand I think that I am going to be able to varnish the it, so I think I am going to keep it and build a the canopy that is 18” tall. If I do change my mind I may get up with you on the wood, because that is a really good price for the stand.

Just something to think about the wood at home depot, its not kiln dried. Normally you can (or at least here in pensacola) get kiln dried equivalent of what home depot sells for the same or lower by shopping at the hard wood suppliers.

Benefits of kiln dried is it wont shrink or split as much over time. Very important if you have an oven over your tank like I do.
