I recently ordered a Innovative Marine 20G Encore, so two 10 gallon tanks stuck together basically.
IM is having a sale on their stands so the APS stand is $270 right now but I wanted to get some other recommendations on alternatives. I found plans to build one out of a couple of IKEA cabinets which would cost about $180-$240 depending on the features and details I choose to add.
I don't want to just assume I can put it on any kind of shelf or cabinet even though it is classified as a desktop aquarium I still expect it to weigh about 300 lbs once filled with water and rock is added on both sides.
So I am looking for a good balance of aesthetic and price. Will need a closed cabinet to store the ATO res and other equipment in.
