Aquarium Advice FINatic
i was planning on a 40g long tank. but my lfs just got a 75g on display and i caved. its just so biiig....
however, being on a student budget, i got the cheapest stand i could find - an iron stand. but it had a definite bowing along its length. so the tank is not supported along its longer edges, but only on the shorter ones. so, i'm going to return it.
now comes the problem. i don't trust the pb stands. so the next cheapest (which is not really cheap) option is the pine stand ($180 at my lfs). but i saw this stand at bigals for $132 with shipping -

so should i get this instead? i'm not good with DIY, so that's out of question. TIA.
