How much for big tanks?

My friend ordered an 8ft x 3ft x 20" high from a tank builder in Calgary, starphire front custom overflow box with 6 holes drilled and a custom sump for $1000 shipped to Vancouver.

Where was that from? PM me if you'd prefer. Thanks.

For a custom built tank with all the goodies (starphire/low iron glass, euro bracing aka no center brace....and an external overflow), budget about $1/gallon in my experience, +/- depending on the features.

I would never get such a large tank without all the features, after all, if you think the tank is expensive you are in for a big surprise!

I just this weekend got a custom all starfire eurobraced 60"x30"x27" with sump lights skimmer 150lbs live rock, bunch of aragonite, 3koralias, return pump, lots of additives for 1000$. It's gonna sit for the next year or so though while our new house gets built. I'm coming from heavily planted freshwater so saltwater is terrifying to me at the moment and I'm making QUITE a jump from my 40g freshwater haha. As beautiful as it is it seems like I hVe quite the journey in front of me. Super excited though
