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.

Cool thanks, I will give Ocean Aquatics a call.

As for the Marineland, if it is the one I am thinking of it was a little too tall for my liking. I am going for wide, deep and shallow pretty much.

Heh, I've been looking for a tank of similar size for the past month. However, I'm going the cheap route and trying to find a used one for cheap. Let us know where you got it and for what price.. I might get impatient enough to actually buy a custom made one or something.

Thanks,

I was looking at getting a new one as my tank is looking a little beaten up after a few moves. To custom build one in your dimensions you are looking at $400 - $700, depending on whether it is rimless and what kind of over low you want.

Well, if it is that much, I will definately go to the US...or do it myself. I know you can score acrylic sheets off penegrine plastics because i've inquired before. Then it is just a matter of a router bit and some solvent.

You could always DIY and save yourself a bunch of money.
I've done it before, isn't hard at all

No prob, I will keep you apprised. If I cant find one with OA, I might just go to glasscages.com. You can get an acrylic with shipping to Blaine, WA for about 200-230. Custom is a little bit more.
