Stand For A 40 Breeder

[InsanePirateDragon]

So I found an add for a 40 gallon breeder that Im dying to snatch up. But the problem is that my current tv stand that holds my viv is too small. Has anyone found anything that works well as a stand with shelves and thats not to expensive, or would it be easier to build my own stand.

I have several Tanks sitting on an old dresser.

What do you consider expensive?

 

[InsanePirateDragon]

Nothing more than 300.

um you could build one out of 2x4 or something similar pretty easily just look up aquarium stand designs. also take a look at criagslist on there furniture section and see what comes up alot of times there is some good stuff.


edit: 2x4 would probably be over kill hell it's even over kill when a tank is filled with water so you can probably use small lumber.

I use $99.00 adjustable 6 Shelf Units
I have 3 set up. I need more. I have tanks still on the Floor.

Lot's of us use these types of shelves. It's kind of one of the hobby standards. They can often be found even cheaper than $99 if you shop around. They're available in lots of places too...walmart, home depot, target, etc. And you can sometimes find them REALLY cheap used on craigslist.

You can not really beat them unless you want to build custom wood ones. I have yet to find anything that looks as good and is as versatile and as cheap.

Thanks for letting me know, I picked up one of the last large ones that they had. It looks like it'll work great thanks.

i got a 40 breeder today and need a stand! Do i need a heating pad for a gecko? Im a noob!

 

[Ozymandias]

um what type of gecko?

 

[Dabrute]

um what type of gecko?

leopard

 

[Ozymandias]

this should really go in the leopard gecko sub-forum then bu yes you will need some type of heat source (be it UTH or other), a stand makes no difference.

oh ok, but i need a stand to put this tank on.

I posted a pic of a stand which is commonly used by a lot of people.
and we have given a lot of places they can be easily and readily found.

The Tank on the top is a 40 Gallon breeder
