Default I need a stand

I need a 4' stand to hold a 50gal tank...

If anybody has one, or knows where I can get one for less than retail, brand new prices, then please let me know.

thanks

Fresh.

What I did on my 46 was to go to home depot and a store called jysk here in nanaimo. I bought a nice pine (furniture) cabinet in the right dimensions and when I assembled it, I just put in some 2x4 framing on the inside. It works and looks great. Total cost was under $100

This might be an option for you if you got some very basic carpentry skills.

That's a good idea, reinforcing standard Jysk/Ikea furniture. Nice call.

at 4' and 50gallons, i'm guessing this is only 12" wide?

if i am mistaken and your tank is wider than that, let me know, i have a metal tube stand in the garage.
