DIY stand vs SCA stand

[Vested]

I'm debating between making my own stand or buying one from SCA, does anyone have experience here with their wood stands? And how much would be a fair price on a stand for their 90 gal cube, dimensions are 36x24x24.

(hopefully this is the right section for this question, if not please let me know how to move it!)

It cost me about $200 to make my DIY stand for a 65g. 36x18x24 tank.
3/4 plywood.

Depending on your building skills, a diy stand is usually much cheaper and usually much better built than the stands for sale. However, some companies will not warranty or will offer a shorter warranty for a tank on a diy stand

I ended up able to get a pretty good deal on an SCA stand from Steve and took it while I could, also good to know about the warranty I did not think about that!
