Looking For Custom Cabinet & Stand Builder

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a company that builds aquarium cabinets and stands for aquariums 500 gallon +.

Thank you in advance,

Robert

Yes, actually in your backyard is www.aquariumsforyou.com - they do beautiful work from what I've seen on their website. I was going to have them ship me a custom stand for a 340 but it just cost too much to have it shipped. Here is a pretty cool design, I'm having mine made locally to look similar ...

Thank you for your reply but I'm looking for custom made stands an cabinets. I'm not good in building myself.

I wasn't telling you to build it yourself, they will do it for you.

oceanautic,

I ended up going with a guy that builds custom (built-in) home theatres in my area. When I was talking with the owner of the company that installed my hardwood floors, he recommended this guy for any and all custom woodwork. You may want to check around in your area for someone similar - this guy had not done aquarium work before but he did a great job. Internal steel frame with cherry exterior. It is very similar in style to the one fliger linked.

If you want to see pics (granted mine is only a 180g), look for my thread in this forum named "it is about time". If you have any questions about mine, drop me a pm.

HTH,
Ben

Talk to some LFS owners, I know around here they usually have a few connections to custom builders they could probably recommend.
