I think you need to get some more quotes -that's high.

There is no rocket science in building a tank but it does take some skill and tools and the consequences of getting it wrong can be significant in terms of cost and mess.

I have the tools and ability to build my own however I choose to let someone with more experience build them for me. I'm happy to DIY just about anything else.

Just my $0.02

i've built a couple of breeding tanks and it is alot cheaper to get a tank built for you-the only reason i did it is because i needed a specific size

Thanks for the input I will defiantly look for more quotes
Little hesitant about building it myself
If there are any tank builders in the lower mainland that can quote me please feel free to contact me

try Miracles - they ship tanks all the time. Also ask your local LFS if they know of a "hobbyiest" builder.

Are you going to do glass or acrylic?
