This is almost identical to my red sea 525L stand, the tank is fine 4 years in no issues. On another note they have made changes from wood to aluminum on the larger tanks and If I were designing the stand that would not be it.

I’m paying 899$ CAD for this… It was supposed to be made of cherry wood by a professional cabinet maker.
Here is the blueprint. What is your opinion of it now ?edit: Nevermind, gonna avoid feedback on pictures for this
Without making any comment on soundness or the overall design two things:They replied and they’re not going to change anything. They say it has been made with russian cherrywood by their expensive professional cabinet maker and that they fully trust this build.

@Jekyl @vetteguy53081 ?
Thanks, I will ask.It might be the pictures, but they differ a little from the blueprint- the doubled up pieces at the front are shown at the end of the panels in the blueprint but look about 6” back in the photos. No comment on if this impacts capacity, just noting what looks like a deviation. They may or may not have a reason for it. Ask.
I now realize I was an idiot. I saw the blueprint but wasn’t comfortable understanding it and did not ask any questions. I should have posted it here many weeks ago, before it was build.If you ordered this with the blueprint or some similar illustration of the product they’re making I’d be surprised if they let you just walk here. If you order to a blueprint and they deliver to the blueprint they’re gonna expect to not find themselves out several hundred dollars because you don’t like the product per the blueprint. If this is the case you might want to work with them to find a way to alleviate concerns you might have rather than try back out of the sale
Does the stand come with a warranty or weight load spec?Thanks, I will ask.

Of course now they’re not going to do anything for free. Especially that the first one they made wasn’t waterproof and they had to start over…
Good question. I have no idea; I will ask.Does the stand come with a warranty or weight load spec?
We may be worrying for nothing. Let glass Cages respond before getting too upset.Good question. I have no idea; I will ask.
Right now I am so p… at myself. Not in a good place at all.

Have you seen the blueprint ? To me it looks like 1/2 on it. It’s baltic birch, not plywood. I have no idea if that makes a difference or not.If this is 3/4” hardwood ply I would not be that worried about it . Ply can actually be stronger than 2x4 due to grains and less likely to torque .. If it is 1/2” then maybe I would be worried
Would you have a link or can you tell me where to look ?you should check out the Reef Builders stand they made very similar to this ..

Thanks !
It’s not crazy but this while project is costing a ton of money and I don’t have 900$ to spare.Sounds crazy but if you’re at the point of no return, perhaps this would make a nice stand for someone in your area that’s setting up a shallow frag tank? Recoup some funds to use towards a more robust build you feel comfortable?
$900 is a lot of money but sleeping well is worth more.
I don’t have any tools and no experience.I feel like you could add some nice solid cherry supports to the corners for piece of mind. But that of course takes tools and experience.
