Stand for a IM 25g lagoon

[ud56]

Looking for some suggestions for a stand for the 25g lagoon. IM doesn’t seem to make one. I could diy but can’t work outside right now because of the SNOW! Its going in the living room so I need something half way decent.

Perhaps you could look around at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot to see if they sell any single base or wall cabinets you could utilize? You would just need to make a simple top to place on the cabinet.

Been there. Nothing that doesn’t look like a kitchen cabinet or is deep enough for the tank

The real bummer is they don't offer the stands to just buy. They used to and people used to just buy the closest size for the tank.

Ya I know. I called the company to see if they have any suggestions but haven’t heard back yet.

Where in New York are you? I'm near Rochester, I have that tank, and may be able to make you something.

I can also say that you might be able to use a sturdy side table, night stand, or dresser, which you can pick up for free to cheap from your local marketplace, classified listings, or grandma's basement.

Look for end tables, can’t find any. I’m in Utica

Not cheap but a WB AIO 35.2 is the same foot print 23.6x 19.7 and they offer an aluminum frame stand. I'm in a similar situation as I just ordered an IM 20 but decided to use my redsea reefer 170 stand.

If you wanted to make the drive to Farmington for pickup, and are not expecting professional cabinet maker level carpentry, I would be happy to make you a wooden stand. Something like a 2x4 skinned stand or a plywood stand. Or keep checking Goodwill, Thrift stores, and FB marketplace for a sturdy piece of furniture that may work.

Though pricy, that Waterbox aluminum stand would be very nice for your tank.

Thank you for the offer but I could make a stand. Done it before but right now to much snow to work outdoors. If I can buy one it would save some time. Can’t find the water box stand only for sale.

$600 for a stand. They are proud of that thing!

Yeah, that is crazy, IMO. If I wanted to spend that much money I would just make a stand out of 80/20. Just get a hacksaw if you're not going to do much building. It would be as strong, and a lot cheaper.

I'm willing to be it's $600 plus freight shipping, so more like $1000 by the time you get it. And, the reviews really are not that great, now that I look. I always thought Waterbox stuff was pretty solid, even if expensive.

I have no complaints with their stuff. That price is just absurd.

IM is missing a lot of business not selling stands as well.
