I still prefer wooden stand.
Started this thread because my impression of aluminum was very flexible

They are using aluminium extrusion. Last time on AQ there was mention of a supplier in Jalan Besah area. I think the display tanks at Qian Hu are also using this. I saw them setting it up a couple of years ago.

It's been a few years but doesn't seem to catch on.

Personally I prefer wooden cabinets. Unless supplier is willing to do a wrap.

Even the normal steel racks look more simple and clean and you can paint it too.

Those aluminium profile can withstand the weight.
I don't really like the grooves even with the black rubber / plastic seal. Water will still seep in.

All along thought wood stand was the best. But this aluminum stand seem over priced. Maybe would be cheaper if we just get the raw materials and get some contractors to cut to size.
