Yeah, driftwood, I just built a 96x36x36 (500g) for just about $3k with a 1.25" side window and a 1.5" front window. You can build this size for cheap if you're willing to put in the work.
Maybe I’ll go for the same size as you for now and do the larger one in like ten yearsYeah, driftwood, I just built a 96x36x36 (500g) for just about $3k with a 1.25" side window and a 1.5" front window. You can build this size for cheap if you're willing to put in the work.
Do you have a build thread?My 1000gal tank built out of 2x4s, plywood, and fiberglass w a 1.5" 4'x8' acrylic viewing panel cost me less than $4000. Built everything myself though.
I would love to see how you did this. looking at doing the same soonI'll post a build thread for mine in a few days. Had to get 6 posts before I could link to pictures... You could do a 1200 gallon tank for $5k easily. I fiberglassed my entire tank so that added a bit to the cost but I don't want this thing to ever leak so I went there extra mile.
Don't know where you are but imports from China are possible to almost anywhere for great prices.
They make beautiful glass and acrylic tanks. Standard size panels are up to 8m long and you can get bigger if you place custom orders.
Any places you recommend?
