LF Cube/Cubish Aquarium - Vancouver area

ReefOcean · #1 06-28-2011, 09:52 PM

I have been to every store that seels aquariums and I am at a loss. My last options are Glasscages in the US, or ask around here.

I am looking for an aquarium with dimensions around 24wx24dx16t. No more than 40 gallons. 35 gallon being optimal. Glass or acrylic. If somebody makes acrylic tanks here, even better. I don't require any kits like the biocude.

Hope you guys can help

DID YOU CHECK OUT OCEANAQUATICS?

Correction, every store but Ocean Aquatics heeh. Bit out of the way. I went to JL, Pet Smart, Mr Pets, Petcetera and a couple of the Pet Habitats...suprisingly, Pet Habitat had the best selections.

Does Ocean aquatics have this size of tank?

EDIT: I went to Island Pets Unlimited as well

have you tried asking your LFS to order one for you?
i ordered one of similar dimensions a few years back.

I was there on the weekend and there are a few used and new tanks that fits the bill, give Jim a call and he will send you some pictures, or as stated above, the boys will custom make one for you, JL or OA. Which ever is easier for you.

yes, JL for some reason couldn't, or wouldnt. Pet habitat only has access to tanks it's limited suppliers had and I really didnt bother with the chain stores for obvious reasons hehe.

You jst have to ask at JL.
Just tell Rene or Jeff what you're looking for and they'll tell you if they have it or how much it wil be to order from a supplier.

If your looking for a tank that is not a standard size most LFS can get one custom made for you. I know OA will have one made for you. The cost is not a lot more than an off the shelf tank
