Well a big hello to everyone, just a brief (hopefully) introduction about me...I used to have about 4 simple community tanks set up about 6 or 7 years ago, but gave up after one too many flat moves, now i am in the long process of setting up a 4 x 2 x 2 tank, which i hope will cure the need for more than one tank! I'm going to keep discus (hopefully! nothing like a challenge!) but will take a little time as i buy things for it as i can afford!

So..first question of many to come (hopefully i will be able to answer questions one day)...does anyone know a good person in Auckland who makes tank stands???

Thanks!

hi and welcome to the forums.

sorry i cant answer your question

Welcome to the forums new2discus

Hi and welcom to the forum.

Sorry I can't help you with your tank making adventure either

Welcome,

A good place to go would be Tough Tanks on Henderson Valley Rd.

They don't sell fish or plants but they have lots of tanks, food, toys, etc.

Good luck.

Hi and welcome to the forums..

Tough tanks seemed really really busy when we were up there they wouldn't even quote us for a tank cuz they said it would be like a month before they could do it.. Im also unsure how economical it woul dbe for them to make you a tank stand

Best best would be to find someone handy on the forums or a retired chippie or something... Ask around your family/friends someone will know one, or else ask around and make one yourself depending on what you want its not hard to make one.

If you have a local Woodworkers' Guild or club they may have someone who could help too. Or, if you want metal, any engineering firm ought to be able to do it.

welcome

Thanks everyone,

i think i now have a tank sorted , my friend who is a builder is going to make one for me out of recycled rimu. Had been to toughtanks, quoted at least $957! Also found someone from trademe who makes metal stands.
