New tank...
 

Where would you go to get a 72"W x 48"L x 24"D acrylic tank in greater Vancouver? I imagine that it would need to be custom built...

I could be convinced into a 72"W x 36"L x 24"D...and I'm flexible on the 24"D part.

I say that in case anyone knows of a suitable tank that is close to the dimensions I'm looking for.

... I'll get you started...So far, I can't even locate a acrylic tank manufacturer in Canada. I've found Tenecor and a place in Vegas...

try surrey plastics or industrial plastics. for sure they can build that tank for you

Custom plastics in langley as well. They have actually built tanks for marine aquariums.

Thank you both! Research continues...

Anyone we know on this forum that has had a tank built by any of these companies? It sure would be nice to hear some first hand experience.

Wendel/James at Ocean Aquatics build tanks and sumps...you should give them a call....If they cannot build you what you want, they are great guys who Im sure wuold lead you in the right direction.

Call Jeff at J&L aquatics. He is the man to talk to, and he can hook you up with any size you need and he can always get you a few different quotes

I'll do that. I was hoping that I might be able to avoid a retail upcharge by finding a manufacturer directly. The first quote I've received is more than I expected. (not so much that I'm going to stop the project...just more than I expected)

Like I mentioned before.

Call Peter Brear at Custom plastics in Langley. They have built custom tanks before. I hope you do realize going custom usually costs more. Good luck.
