I have to move my 55 gallon tank from it's surface and out of the way. My building is replacing the fan coil units and my tank is right where the action is. Does someone have a 55 gallon tank stand I can borrow for one week while the construction workers do their thing? I need it by next weekend.

Or you can borrow it, but In return you have to sell it??? Lol just a thought

Alexandra - you could also just get some concrete blocks and a piece of plywood to make a temporary stand. Probably < $10, depending how tall you want it to be....but it will get the tank off of the ground so you can do water changes...

That would be great if I could borrow it. And what were you looking for if I found someone to buy it? If you just want it gone I know others in need of a stand that can't afford a new one.

I don't know who would buy it for that price. I hate to say it but my friends are on the cheaper side. If you can just lend it to me next weekend for a week I will return it in excellent condition. I will transport it myself.

I've got a metal one you can borrow if you can pick it up and return it. :)

Will, a brand new aquarium stand, depending on material, for a 55-gallon, ranges in price from about $90 (iron) to $150 ("nice" wood), with some high end ones being a bit more (fancy schmancy ones).

You can buy a used tank, with a stand, usually the rest of the set-up (filters, heaters, etc.) for $100 or so. (See: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/for/4362082296.html -- there's someone selling a 55-gallon tank, stand, and canopy for $150).

I wouldn't try for more than about $20 among fish geeks for a stand. :) Maybe $50 if you put it up on CL or other sites, and it is a nice one, and it is in good shape.

If you put it on the floor, you gotta pick it up off the floor. Hard to deadlift a tank from the floor. :)
