I was looking into getting a custom tank made either from Planet Aquarium or Glasscages. I'm a little worried about getting a wooden stand and the wood warping over time. I plan to leave this system up for 10+ years.

Would prefer a Metal stands with fully detached panels. Kind of like this tank.

Does anyone know of some companies that make aluminum or metal stands specifically for reef tanks?
Tank Dimensions: 72.3" x 25.3" x 23.6"
Stand Dimensions I am looking at: 72.3" × 25.3" × 36.5"

Stand with 5 detachable doors and a small storage area for equipment/dosing lines.

Lots of places, they are not cheap and you can save a lot by building it yourself. There are some threads on the forum that show the basics of design and places to buy the material. I built one for my 75 using tnutz.com cost me about 350

If you can build with Legos or put together IKEA furniture you can build a stand with tslot.
