Steel Stand Recommendations

There's a guy in the hobby that is down the road from me that has the tools and capability to make them, even get them powder coated. I talked to him years ago about making one for @kjonulak, but he ended up using extruded aluminum.
I can't attest to his work, but I can reach out to him to see if he's interested, what are the dimensions of the stand?
Depending on size, I'd probably lean towards extruded aluminum as well...

Depending on what the local guy charges, a steel stand or an extruded aluminum will run about the same price. I had an extruded stand for a 24"x24" that I was able to extend to fit a 36"x24" tank. It was cost affective to do. Doesn't Titan have that non metal stand parts? Not sure the price on something like that.
My stand is extruded Al as well; something I designed/assembled how I wanted it.
At that time, it wasn't the cheapest option, but it's essentially permanent too. Anodized Al isn't susceptible to saltwater like steel can be.
