Title: T SLOT ALUMINUM STAND?
Post by: darkstar144 on August 19, 2015, 07:22:07 PM

Wondering if anyone has one T-SLOT ALUMINUM STAND?

I have a 180 Acrylic that I need to get a stand for.  I was  considering metal or wood, but when I came across some photos of aluminum stands I was impressed on how sharp they look.  I am assuming it costs a great deal more for the aluminum.

That does look pretty snazzy.

I would try to get someone to quote a stand for you before you get too far into it.  I don't deal with pricing much, but I'm pretty sure that stuff isn't cheap.

I wouldn't know who to go through on that side of the state, but look up maytec or 8020, and try to find a rep.  Some places will build the whole thing for you too.

I like the look of that! Dang where was this months ago before I built my fish room?? Lol

Keep us posted when you find out more pricing info!!

Who knows, I might need a rack like this for vivariums!  ;)

I sent a brief description of what I am looking for to Faztek.  They sent me back the following drawing and a quote for $400.  It's a mix of 1.5x1.5 and 1.5x3.0.

I am going to have Faztek do another drawing and quote for a stand designed similar to this one minus panels and for a 180.
