I was actually going to get a acrylic shop here in town to build it.
I buy the acrylic and get them to build it at 75.00 per hour..works out to be pretty reasonable that way. Alot cheaper that way than getting someone to build the tank out of glass on site. sphelps thanks for the advice about downsizing because I was worrying about the money...lol.. I think I have it under control...Just because I am trying to do things economically does not mean I can't afford it. thanks for all the advice from everyone. I am actually going to take mark's advice I think and build one from plywood and fibreglass with 3 glass fronts. it is actually a good idea and will allow me to build a tank on site. I have built my whole addition on my house with this tank in mind and can't wait to start this long process...I will definitely keep a journal on this one. thanks again Neal

I'm planing to biuld a larger tank myself. I built a steel frame out of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 1/4 angle, and plan to drop in plywood in place. Starphire glass for the front, then fiberglass the rest.
