@TenecorAquariums is looks like the max height for stands offered is 36in, would I be able to custom order a 42in tall stand? Are there issues with aluminum at that height? Looking for a stand for a Redsea reefer 250 but need something to match the bar height next to it.

@Tenecor Aquariums I finally got my shipment of 2 aluminum stands and I'm trying to assemble it with nothing but head scratching. :thinking-face:
Beautiful extruded aluminum, excellent huge feet, and cleanly cut PVC top and bottom. I bought both a 24x24 and 30x24. I would not have thought I needed instructions since I've built many things with slotted profile aluminum and designed my own. But I can't figure it out. The pieces I figured out are the 2 top pieces that rest on the legs. (2) 30" for the 24x30 and (2) 24" for the 24x24. Then (2) 26.5" for inside the 24x30. There are (11) 22.25" pieces remaining and can't for the life of me figure out how to make those work when the inside dimensions are 20.5" (24" minus 3.5", the thickness of 2 legs). Physically measuring the PVC sheet, the inside dimension is 20.5" as well.
Did they cut all the inside pieces 1.75" too long?

Cut list for 24x24x36 and 30x24x36:
(2) 30"
(2) 26.5"
(2) 24"
(11) 22.25"
(8) 33.75" plus feet ~ 36"

I've been waiting since ordering 3/10 and would love to be told I'm missing something here that is so obvious.
I'll try to upload pictures from my phone but I'm sure the details provided are enough.

This is not the best place to inquire about that issue. The rep hasn't been very active lately on R2R. I'd email them directly.

They said they wouldn't be around as much for a bit awhile ago.
