Title: stands, canopys, sumps, reseal jobs ect..
Post by: Regalblue on January 06, 2012, 12:07:14 AM
I'm posting this for one of the many aquarium resource aquaintances, that I've made throughout the years.
 I received a call this morning from Dan Bechtol, the owner of Stands by Dan. (a local Detroit business, who builds the stands for a few LFS) He was making a courtesy call to check-up on the 120gal.stand he made for me back in April of last year. (the stand is great, if you're wondering)

During the course of talking to him it became apparent that he could use some business.
You see Dan does his stand/canopy/ sump building, tank resealing & maintainace as a side job. His main Winter job is snow removal. As you know there has been minimal snowfall, so far, this Winter. So, Dan is kind of strugeling to pay the bills.
 
So, I'm passing his email along to everybody here. [email protected] I encourage you to cutout the middleman & contact him if there is anything that you need done. All of his products are professinal quality at wholesale prices.

side note-I am NOT recieving any kind of kickbacks or compensation from any sales/services made because of this post/thread. Im just trying to help everybody out.

I emailed him.

I tried to make that stand myself and it didn't come out right.  I really do not like wood-working
