Thanks,

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.

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

Does Ocean aquatics have this size of tank?

EDIT: I went to Island Pets Unlimited as well

You jst have to ask at JL.
Just tell Rene or Jeff what you're looking for and they'll tell you if they have it or how much it wil be to order from a supplier.

I have a tank that is almost perfect for you given the dimensions mentioned
It's not in wonderful shape but woulid make a serviceable display.

If you dont mind a scratch or two, pm me.

it's reef ready.

If your looking for a tank that is not a standard size most LFS can get one custom made for you. I know OA will have one made for you. The cost is not a lot more than an off the shelf tank

I phoned OA last night and he requested I send an email with my requirements which I did, I should be hearing back from him with a couple of quotes in the next day or so.

Gobytron is also going to shoot me some pics of his tank he has so my search is looking good hehe.
