Default Custom Stand/Cabinetry done locally?

Anyone here that can recommend a custom stand/cabinet builder for a smallish tank project? I've got the go ahead to put a tank in the new house, but it has to "go" with the furniture and decor... and my DIY skills are definitely not up to par...

Thanks!

Shane

Hey Shane...I just got a setup from Hidden Reef...they had a guy named Edward (I believe) do the stand and cap, and it is really nice, simple but really really well done. Definately a piece of furniture, not just a "fish tank stand"!! Maybe contact mikeb on the board and get the guys information.

There's a dude over on bcaquaria.com by the name of "pistolpete" who builds custom stands. He lives around Lougheed Mall, I believe.

I can vouch for pete as well, I've had quite a few things built by him and have been very happy with the craftsmanship. The best part is that he'll work to fit your budget, from nice cabinetry to simple pine stands.

Can anyone post some pics of his work? Maybe pm me his contact info? I'm not a member at the other board (it's a freshwater board mostly it seemed when I last checked it out)...

Thanks.

Default Cabinetry

Ditto LostMind's posting.
There's a market out here for Mr. Marivotich to tap into.
