Guest vee November 7, 2003 Share November 7, 2003 Do people know if there are places that will build stands for a reasonable price? Furniture grade of course. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty November 7, 2003 Share November 7, 2003 Could this be an excuse to have another building party??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg November 7, 2003 Share November 7, 2003 Didn't John Hemmer have a hood custom made and was real happy with the work that was done? There was a website for it, and as I recall they make stands as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltwayBandit November 7, 2003 Share November 7, 2003 I looked for a custom builder, and found a couple on the web. But, when I wrote to them none responded. You could try your luck with custom furniture makers too. I think Marine Scene has a custom builder that they use, but you would have to pay their markup on the finished piece.

bcjm November 7, 2003 Share November 7, 2003 This guy on ebay has been selling stand/hood. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....4475822 I don't really like the design but the price is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krish November 9, 2003 Share November 9, 2003 Try glasscages.com. They will deliver it to the next local pet show. However, you will have to pick it up. Their prices are quite reasonable. You might be able to influence the design as well. Atleast, on the tanks that they sell. -krish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefMon November 10, 2003 Share November 10, 2003 There is nobody left in the area specializing in stands and hoods. There was a guy who tried (built my hood) and Ravens Craft, but neither are still doing it. You may want to look in the yellow pages and see if you could talk a cabinet maker into working with you, but you'll probably pay big bucks. I believe Oceanic is coming out with a new line of stands and reef ready (read tall) hoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg November 11, 2003 Share November 11, 2003 Glass cages is who I was thinking of... they do shows in the area at least 4 times a year. We could always ask them to come to one of our meetings as well. Their prices are very fair, and from what I remember, they are very open to custom jobs.

AquariaUSA November 18, 2003 Share November 18, 2003 We do a lot of custom work, but I cannot guarantee we can do anything locally for non-clients until about January-March. We have a few versions of cabinetry for stand-alones from the following grades: 1)Basic (above aquarium manufacturers standard cabinets) 2)Midrange (about the same as upper grade aquarium manufacturer cabinets but with more detail work) and 3)High-end furniture grade which I usually farm out to 2 high end cabinet makers (the pricing is very high, but they use rare woods, dovetails, etc.) What are you looking for? Types of mouldings? Door styles? I can give you an estimate based on what we have done that is similar, to help you shop around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABALA November 18, 2003 Share November 18, 2003 Just want to chime in and let you know I got a stand and hood from Aquariausa which was exceptionally and strongly built. And extremely cheap in comparison. Check him out. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquariaUSA November 18, 2003 Share November 18, 2003 Wow! Thanks for the kind remarks Glad you liked it! I have made a few others locally like that same cabinet. Actually have to make a bowfront ensemble for a show by this weekend, wish me luck! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vee November 19, 2003 Share November 19, 2003 Whoa...i wasn't following this thread that closely. I've looked into glasscages but I don't have any way to pick up the stand at their closest show in Manassas. I looked into a guy in Frederick, petcabinets.com. I'll report back to see what happens with this. thanks guys Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
