    That sounds about right Donny. We get a 1.2m stand here for around R300/R325.

    well if its 25mm square tubeing it goes for R186 for a 6m piece , so its R31 a meter . i am not sure on your dimentions or how thick the tubing is so this is just to give you a rough estimate. You can work out the how much metal it is and see if R250 is worth it .i wouldnt make a 1m stand for less to be honest with you

    I have fish for your office setup if interested. Guppies, long fin Zebra Danio's (beautiful), Silvertip Tetras, Albino Widow and Dwarf Gourami. Healthy fish - I just want to move in a different direction regarding species.
