If you don't mind me asking Evan;
How much for the glass and their time and such?

$825 For all the 1/2" glass and machining costs.
$10 for the silicone
$8 for the egg crate

$843 total materials & labour(not including my own) cost for the tank.

A bit less $ than an allglass 92g bowfront corner tank(which I cannot stand the distortion on), and about half the price of having the exact same pentagon tank custom built locally.


Evan.

So who did you get your local price to build it from?

Not InterAmerican I assume?

I talked to both InterAmerican and Aqua Enterprises.
It's the glass thickness, starphire, polishing, and especially the mitered joints that would make this tank so much $. I could have had Aqua Enterprises build it for about $900.00 without the polishing, mitering, and the starphire glass but I wanted a nice show quality tank with straight clean seams and satin smooth edges, which is what I have now :biggrin:

Evan.

VEry nice indeed
 

Well I'm thinking now about getting one of those made :rolleyes:

Maybe i will down size and put that one in the corner of my rec room in stead of the 280 sell that one. \
What ya think doug up for a challenge!!!!!!
ANd Jayson if you se this wanna get me a price on the glass with the 22.5 angle corners with the 1.5 " over flow with the 2 x 1" returns.

Mike

You go, Mike! I can see these catching on... definitely a beauty, unless you're looking for Tang space. (Mind you, at the greatest width it looks like you've got about 4 ft. there -- the size of this thing is a little deceiving isn't it? :eek: )

Oh Evan, that is simply awesome ! We might be asking you some questions.... :mrgreen:

If anybody wants the blueprints I'll put them up on my site next week along with some helpful tips.

The size is a little decieving. It's actually 55" across inside from corner to corner and 30" of from the front pane to the near side of the overflow.

Evan.

Yes, very "wow" all around. Can't wait for the next Calgary meeting, which you will be hosting of course. :lol: Whoops did I let the cat out of the bag???!! :eek: :razz: :wink:

Hmm, I may have to come back for that one! :cool:
