Tried to send you a message but since I don't have 5 posts, I can't.
I have a mr aqua tank I've been meaning to build up for my first SW tank, stand would need to be about WxHxD: 36"x32"x16"

I have no idea if I can receive PMs but this is one post towards that 5 without spamming I guess.

I should have gone with Travis
My stand was poorly constructed and it will cost me 3 times than the original price. Because someone really messed it up ( rusted out thin metal was used and all the joints are poorly welded) the good thing Aaron fixed it unfortunately even Aaron good labor fee it will will cost almost triple than what I budgeted it because it almost a complete overhaul.

Man sorry to hear that. Travis work is solid for sure. My stand came out great.
Glad to hear you got it squared away.

If I went with Travis my main tank is probably running again last month already instead of a empty eye sore

man that looks sweet. you going to cover it up too??
By cover up do you mean doors? If so, then yes.

The steel tube frame has wood trim attached to it. As well as the wood top and crown molding. I then used a lot of bondo to fill all the cuts and screw holes, sprayed 2 coats of primer, and 2'coats of finish. There was a lot of sanding and caulking as well, but I'm a full service painter and stainer professionally so that part wasn't to bad
