LF: Tank Builder in Vancouver

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I may be moving soon and be forced to downsize tanks. I am looking for a glass or acrylic cube tank...something like 2'x2'x2'...but Im not too sure yet. Depends on price. Must be RIMLESS though. So Im guessing 1/2" thickness at the least?

Any info on tank builders here or if anyone has built acrylic tanks and wants to give me a rough quote, please feel free

Thanks!

just tagging along as I'm interested to find one too...

I just got my tank built, but not locally. I got it from Aquarium Obsessed in Ontario. The reason I say this is because the price, with shipping, was acutally the same as local builders and the quality is absolutely amazing. If you want to check them out, go to www.aquariumobsessed.com

Looks good. Thanks for the link.

$899 + tax + shipping for a 24" cube

Is that a good price?

.

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I don't know if thats a good price but my custom 130G was built for about $100 less by a company in Victoria. I may end up going back to them...

That is probably Starphire though right?

I kind of want acrylic.

[VFX]

yep, Starphire front & sides.

It's just what I was looking for before I bought a Solana cube.

I heard a Canreef member here in BC makes acrylic tanks?

Where did you get the solona cube? I really like those.

I got it from King Ed's a couple of weeks ago.

I did a little review of it here.

I like it so far but I worry that the glass is too thin (5mm)

.

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Yeah seems kind of thin...I think I may look for an acrylic building who can do a rimless cube with thick acrylic. I kind of want a sump still as well. If anyone knows a good acrylic worker, please let me know!

[VFX]

Cool, let me know if you find anyone.
