Do you have a budget for the build?

Maybe some space limitations?

Might be able to help hunt something down for you.....  :)

Have you ever thought of building an acrylic tank?

 You could probably build this 65g out of one 4' x 8' sheet of 3/8" cell cast acrylic and a small bottle of Weldon #4 and an applicator bottle. There are local Plastics shops in the area of 8 mile and Telegraph road as well as a shop down on 8 Mile and east of telegraph. I built an acrylic set of lids this way. They had acrylic hindges and everything.

 Anyway, if you did decide on that, there are many "how to" videos on youtube that are great at explaining the process.

 Stands are relatively easy to build also. Just need proper support for an acrylic tank as the weight is despersed across a mojority of the bottom as opposed to a glass tank which can be solely supported only on the ends.

 BTW, I found this Acrylic tank with stand on CL just now for $200 which is actually a pretty decent deal. I'll PM it to you.
