Really big aquarium stands?

Howdy Folks!
Does anyone know where I can purchase a REALLY big aquarium stand for a reasonable price? I'm not having good results searching online yet. I traded my two king snakes for an 150 gallon aquarium for my HUGE red-eared slider (aquatic turtle). She way out grew the 55 gallon one she's in. The female kings was just to predatory for a pet, she even tagged me. The male was sweet. They got a very good home, and now I got a giant aquarium. Any ideas?
 
either build or find a good sturdy piece of furniture to put it on. i've used TV stands and computer desks...check out yard sales or goodwill. TV stands are made to hold a lot of weight. i have my 29 gal on a used TV stand. and it has shelves underneath to hold stuff too.
 
Thanks Greeling! That website has stackable cool looking aquariums too! They are cheaper than a visionarium. Hmmm.....
As for a t.v. stand, a 150 gallon is about, what?, at least a 1,000lbs with water in it? Something like that. It's for an aquatic turtle, so it needs some serious wood. I'm not a carpenter, so I guess I will just have to save up. It's going on the floor for now. :shrugs:
 
BTW, I can't actually lift the aquarium up myself. The guy I go it from lifted it with a dolly. That is some thick glass!
 
My parents have a 150g salt water tank. The stand they use is home made but I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those iron stands at the pet store that would be big enough for it. Not cheap.
 
wow. that is pretty heavy. and it would need something strong to hold it, need a strong wood stand. not the particle board cheap veneer stuff. i just realized that most TV stands nowadays are made of cheap wood veneer. www.drsfostersmith.com sells wood stands now too. but they arent cheap either. and the shipping would be expensive.
do you have any fish stores around? i know mine sometimes get used stands, they're in good condition, and they offer them cheaper than new ones. people trade them in for bigger tanks and stands.
