Where to get a tank built?

[rusty]

I just built a 114 gallon 40x30x22 Building it is easy, getting the glass cut to size is the hard part. Do you have the glass? If you do how old is it?

Here is the tank I just built its drilled with corner overflows and a coast to coast spillway across the back

I see that you have a lock on your cabinetry to keep the kids out Darn, it'll probably keep me out when I'm over too

Hey Guys,

I know of a glass manufacturer rep here in town that could sell us glass. We can also specify bevelled edges with polish. Maybe we could buy as a group and get a better pricing.

Some of us who need to build a tank in the next while should set out to find the best price for glass...hopefully skipping any middlemen as possible.

Who's interested in helping?

I think the going thickness is 1/2 ". Anyone need a thicker size.

Also, try to find out about polishing/bevelling costs per inch.

Inquire also about starfire vs regular. When I has talked to this rep about a year or so ago, she had a different name for starfire, just so you know...can't remember the name of it.

The thing was they could order the glass and bring it in from their factory.

Thanks guys,

Brad

I might need a pane of 1/2 glass (~46"x19" IIRC). Man Brad, you've got some connections in town!

I think I was the guy mentioned above that ordered one from eastern Canada.

I ordered a 180g custom from Aquarium Obsessed near Toronto. I am very pleased with the work and price. If I did it again, I would do the same.

Yup you're definately the guy. I remember now. Is there an update on your setup?

Thanks

For the last few weeks I've been setting up my 50g. quarantine setup, which I've basically finished now. I'm still waiting for my custom sump from Barr Aquatic, and I should have that soon. I'm taking off to the bahamas for a week as well. But I should be in a better situation come the end of the month with the 180g. I'll be updating my RC thread with more info regarding my QT setup soon.

For glass check out Globe glass in Edmonton. (don't have the number but they are in the phone book)
i just bought some tempered glass from him and his price was teh best in town.

He mentined that he used to make aquariums but doesn't any more however he woudl be more than willing to provide the glass (he can even bend it for a custom bow front

he can drill holes for overflows and what ever else you need.

Hope this helps
