Ever build an aquarium and viv stand or cabinet?

[julie]

I have a 55 gallon fish tank already. I know beardie will need a new house soon because he is growing fairly quickly. I was just going to build a viv for him, but then got the idea to put the two together (side by side of course). I have the perfect spot. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried this. Just trying to get ideas.....

hi,

I haven't built a combined stand for an aquarium and viv side by side, but I did build an aquarium stand once that held a 240 gallon tank on there. I'm pretty sure that would hold a 55 gallon tank together with whatever viv you could come up with as well.

I found a pic, maybe it's helpful to you.

Thanks. I'm looking to build something similar (bty-that looks awesome!) I have to start my planning. Just want to make sure I account for everything- access needed (esp for the tank), wires, etc.

I am in the process of building an over/under. It will hold a 55 gallon fish tank on top and have space for a viv that will meet the following dimensions, 50x24x24 and that would also leave 8 inches above for domes. I can pm you some pics of the framework if interested, just let me know.
