I have to go through this as well... thanks for posting Butcherman

[SauRoN]

Butcherman what has it cost you in total?

[butcherman]

got the metal stan for R250 and the wood was like R300 and Varnish and extras like handels R120... so about R680.

Jissis if you weren't in Gauteng, I would let you build me one.

A nice size tank on top of that will look nice!
Real wood, MDF? What did you use?

[Zafgak]

Hey Butcher - Thanx to your great post - Veegal wants me to make two for the 1,2m tanks and 1 for the 2m tank :(

[veegal]

I'll let you off the hook on the 1.2m's Zafgak - but the 2m one stands :D

That cabinet really looks good, did you make the square tubing stand as well, or was it purchased with the tank?
