Building cube tank

[banditpowdercoat]

Funny, Ive been thinking about the exact same thing. Ever since I saw Myka's cube for sale, I'm like, Hmm, One would look cool there, or there, off, one there too....

I just had one built for me. It's 24" x 24" x 18" rimless, braceless with the 3 viewing panels in Starfire glass. The thickness is 1/2". I prefer glass to acrylic because it's easier to clean and doesn't scratch as easliy.

Wow, thats nice.

So 1/2" huh?

Thats not so bad for cost then.

This one cost me $500 but that's bigger than you want and I had three panes with low iron glass. I'm having a very simple sump built for me now that's 21" x 21" x 16" rimless with 2 baffles that's costing me $200.

The standard 24 inch cube (60 gallons) is around ~$250. Ask Anthony about glass thickness because I know hw has one.

Cheers,

You will regret acrylic for that size of tank.

[new but handy]

my 180 is built with 1/2". I bought the glass for $350.
