Got a quote from CDA, and for a 60" long x 30" wide tank, the quote was $2700 for the stand itself. The stand is steel wrapped in custom nice white wood cabinet wrapping.
Is this typical? I have no idea how much stands cost nowadays, but I was expecting it to be a bit cheaper than than the tank. The stand was same price as the tank.

I showed my wife your tank. And she said, yeah, do it like that. :lolspin:

Thanks! I'm glad other people are appreciating the build as much as I am.
Do it!! Just don't tell her how much it costs.

Wanted to share some quick pics of the custom stand CDA put together for me.

Here's my CDA build...
Wow, that's one nice setup you have there.

Thanks! I'm hoping I make it look better (or as good) rather than worse when it's all filled up!

As much as I love the external overflow, I really like the fact that you can push your tank against the wall. It's such a cleaner look. I guess most folks with external overflow has to leave a gap between wall and tank. Anyone have creative idea to hide that gap? Another piece of trim?

Oh, those were furniture sliders that I used to place the tank and stand more easily. They've since been removed, but the CDA steel stand does come with leveling feet too (3 on each side of the tank), but those are not visible when looking at the tank.

That's ultimately why I went with an internal overflow.

They look like movers so you can slide your furniture around without it damaging your floors.

That's what I'm saying! We need to make our next tank upgrade stand look like THIS!
I think it would be good to lock our kids in it too. Makes a nice cage.
