Hi Rob,
Would love to buy a stand from a LFS but they want 300-400 bucks for the one
Perfecto makes, plus if I make it myself I can sit the 55 behind it. They
are already going to get close to $1,000 bucks for the 220. I am ordering
the tank from my LFS which is a size they do not normally carry. My LFS
owner loves me and I support her very much. I spend at least $20 a week
there in feeders for my herps and fish, and that will increse when winter
comes. I also give her TONS of plant clippings all the time out of my tanks.

Also the OSB and the blocks will come from my local Mom and Pop hardware
store/lumber yard not Homedepot or Lowes we do not have one in my little
town of 6,000 anyway, and I really do not want to make the 45 minute drive
to Erie to go to one anyway.

Wally
