Need a stand for a 75G

[jaxteller007]

Wound up getting a 75G reef ready tank but now we need a stand for it. Hoping to find a used one at a good price. Can pick it up.

What’s the footprint of your 75? I may have something. Also, I’m in Knoxville.

I'll check when I get home tonight but I believe its standard

No problem. I’ll measure what I’ve got shortly.

The stand I hav will hold a footprint of 49x14. That is probably not big enough.

Tank is 48 long by 18 wide by 21 tall. Internal overflow is in back left corner.

You’d have to add 4” to the back of the stand that I have to make it work. It’s doable but you’d be better off just getting it right the first time.

No problem. Appreciate the offer.

If feeling ambitious you can build a stand pretty cheap. I got all the tools in my garage to do it I did my canopy and stand both.

Let me check the measurements of our old stand that I'm currently using as a makeshift desk cause those numbers sound familiar. We could definitely part with it for a minor amount.

We actually have two different friend that do wood worker that we could get to build stands but finding some kind of layout or plans with dimmensions is proving tough to do.

Let me know, ouir biggest concern is having cabinet doors so everything is hidden. Even if there's some nicks or scatches that can be touched up eventually.

Just checked the measurements which are 48.25" x 18.5" so I'm guessing this is similar to a stand that was manufactured for your tank.

According to our photos, it is the Majesty Stand made by Marineland for their 75 gal and 90 gal overflow tanks. We bought our 90 gal tank (just 3 inches taller than your 75 gal) & stand July or Aug of 2017 from Aquatic Critters but had it customized by a licensed contractor because I didn't trust 1,000 lbs of water, sand and rock to be supported for a long term. The stand has been reinforced with 2 x 4 wood for additional weight support. In addition, we had him cut open the side panel and replace it with a magnetic release panel so we could slide our sump into the bottom (otherwise, we found it almost impossible to fit a sump into the cabinet. It was a case where we should have fully planned out the arrangement before buying the combo package.)

It's still the original black outside but we painted the inside with a clear coat Rustoleum water stain protection to minimize rotting from saltwater.

The sad part of all that is that we never used it to hold the tank because I never felt comfortable cramming a 30 x 12 x 16 inch sump inside. My shoulders are wide so getting in and out of the doors or the open back area was too tight so we just built a separate platform and placed it on cinder blocks.

If you don't want to pay much for one, you could probably by the original stand from Aquatic Critters or even PetSmart. You can pick ours up for $250 if you really need one quick and want the extra weight support. We're located in Spring Hill, TN.

That's pretty sweet. But actually we decided just recently that we are going to stay with one tank for now and take our time setting up the second tank. So we want need a second stand for a while.
