Marineland makes a 45 gallon cube that fits ur requirements. Jl aquatics carry their line, they can order it for u.

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.
