Does anyone know where to find posts (legs, whatever you call these) that fits in egg crate? I bought this little stand from my fish club where this stand is used to display corals. I would like to get these posts so that I can make stand for orchids. I tried google search but I have no clue what these are called.
Thanks.

Hello
Looks to me like the legs on the stacking outdoor tables, you might check at walmart or target?

Maybe even Lowe's or Home Depot if you have one nearby.

You could always go to the home Depot and buy some PVC pipes, have them cut, or cut them yourself to the desired size. Thats what we do in the frog hobby, :D

Thanks. Stacking table legs are much thicker - these are like half an inch for the square holes in egg crate.

Tindomul1of9 - yeah, I did cut pvc pipe and make my own stand that way. However, in a reef aquarium - the egg crate gets dirty quick and it's too much hassel to cut pvc pipe and use cable ties - when the legs can be removed and install to a new panel of egg crate.
