I'm gona be looking for a stand for my 6x2x2 tank when i get it I'm looking for one in wood and has got cupboards i need it tall enough to fit my eheim bucket filter in one end.
Or do you think it would be better to build my own one. If so what wood should i use and how thick it should be or if you have got any ideas you could put my way would be great. Thanks Paul

Yeah thanks samy i was thinking the same but i'm not a chippy so i was just looking for a bit of advice from some one that has done one before or if some one is selling one would be better. |

The one that is on the link is only 20" in depth but the tank im getting is 24" do you think i would get away with putting another top on it. |
