I think I'll go ahead with the stainless steel tank. Just got a quote for a 1000 gal tempered glass tank - Cdn $ 17,500, not practical anymore.

One of my metal suppliers is giving me 3 sheets of 11 ga 316L stainless steel sheets - 120" x 60". I'll just pay for the 2x2 type 304 stainless steel square tubing at their cost. I also have made arrangement with one of the sheet metal journeymen in our sister company.

will post progress later.

suggestions are still welcome.

Awesome Job Romeo! I like your tank!
Stainless would work out very well, can't wait to see what it looks like!

can anybody please recommend a good source of starfire glass in Canada. looking for a 120" x 33" x 1 3/4" thick sheet. it would be 2 sheets of starfire laminated together, one sheet must be tempered.

best price i have so far is Cdn $ 6K.

I am decided in using GE1200 silicone
