Aqua Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm wanting to get a wooden cabinet/stand built for my 4' tank, and am looking around for a cheap(ish) price, as I'm certain if I go through a LFS, I'm going to be charged top dollar! SO. If you know anybody that'd be interested in building a cabinet for me, please get in touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 also why not check out trade me, I have brought a couple from there and they usually have cupboards or drawers, so you can keep all the associated paraphanalia in there aswell.

Aqua Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I'd prefer to get it custom-made, as it's going to need to hold around 450 Kg.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 for starters you might want a steel frame for a half a tone or close to tank And then biuld the wood finish around it. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yeah, that's what I thought.. However I'm no good with tools, so I need to find somebody else to do it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I wonder if some of those trainee joiners/cabinet makers/carpenters at polytech might make one as part of their training? Often down here we see granny flats etc that they have made being sold off and it could be worth approaching the tutor to see if they would consider a project like that. Trademe though is still a good idea. 5 of my tanks have come from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
