Custom Made Aquariums

[byee]

Thanks for the info.

I'm leaning towards a local manufacturer to avoid costly shipping costs. I spoke to a company in Edmonton this morning and shipping charges will be approximately $350! Still need to pay for the aquarium.

I'm just waiting for a response from another custom aquarium manufacture in ON to call back with a quote. Probably $$$$$ as well.

Buying standard 1/2" glass with polished edges 28" x 28" is $118 for each panel....looking at approximately $600 if I build it myself.

Not sure if I'm willing to build my own tank simply because I've never done it before.

For the ones who have built their own tanks..........any advice will be helpful.

Thanks!

As indicated above, check out Concept... I have seen posts where dealing with them was cheaper than dealing locally, even with shipping included. Can't hurt to call them up and ask.

SO Marineland makes exactly the style you want but you won't buy it because of a 2" difference in dimensions? Wow!
