Thank you for the link - I m a litle worried about mention of scratches but I will contact the seller to find out where they are. I also saw today a 1.6gal hex tank at walmart (called "aqua _?__ plus") that looked like it would make a neat little tank. Unfortunatly, the acrylic was very poor quality and you could actually see drip marks in the walls when you looked closely. Is there anyone in town who would make a little hex tank out of glass?
What about a little acrylic cylinder tank?

Well you can usually find scraps of 4-12" acrylic being sold on the reef sites (leftovers from DIY skimmers) ebay's also generally got some good scraps... Then add a bottom and drill as needed...

As usual, your only limitation are your plastic working skills and budget :)

Might have seen them at Big Al's several months back. Details and pics of the tank and contents can be seen at the link provided above.

Thanks, Sam :biggrin: Loved those goldfish. They were very social, active and colourful, even the plain old feeder goldfish. Hated to have to part with them when we moved. :frown:

Up till now, readers of this post are probably fustrated with my inability to choose a tank, but I have finally decided on an acrylic cylinder with a diameter of 10" and height of 12". Should be about 4 gallons. I will post some pictures once I have it.
Thanks for the tip Andy.

You aren't replacing your 20 are you. :question:

Nope... why? Did my wife tell you to ask that? :razz:

I think we all understand... If only you saw the flip flopping involved in my head - designing the new rack and choices as to what will be kept on it (tank and fish) wise... I'm 6 inches vertically short of what I need - and you have no idea how frustrating that is!

You are a genius! That thing look so sweet. Unfortunately they want $200can for the acrylic one and $270 for the glass version :sad: .
Way too much for an 8" cube. Woulda looked good on my counter though...
