Aquarium pricing?

[JohnNYC8]

In canada custom tanks are very expensive.

I will say some of the nicest tanks I’ve ever seen are from Miracles up there. Current state of trade relations aside, Canada produces nice stuff.

Miracles is on the reef savvy level in my opinion. Amazing tanks.

And how are they? Have you used these personally?

 

[RJKain-777]

Would have to order 2 at $6000, and it’s also only 250 gallon aquarium volume

There are some on here being used. A Debranded build thread. From what we can tell, it's the waterbox manufacturer.
Shipping does cost a bit.

Good to see there’s other options. I would have to find some one local to buy one with me since it says minimum order of 2

 

[fish_collector]

I'm going to set up one of similar size and have been scared to price them out
I may actually go with acrylic when it's all said and done.

Let us know what you decide.

They will do one. You just have to ask. And you typically can negotiate. I just think the 10k price is a bit much for a tank that size. Especially if it's built with less than 3/4 glass.

I agree on that the price is insane .

I guess when the time comes, I’ll try and negotiate if I go that route

You can price out a tank on Glass Cages site. It would not shock me at all to see a custom 350g tank hit $7-8000 USD

After conversion , I’m still under $7000

On the end, how good your tank will look depends on your aquascape, corals and light. I see many tanks looks way better than my expensive (for it's size) tank.

So, I won't spend 10-15k on a tank from Miracles.

Also in the same boat as you - and unfortunately I can also report that custom tank prices at least in Canada are astronomical currently. They more than doubled a few years back. Had a 96 x 30 x 27 (I think) tank quoted and that same tank went up more than double the price when I had it quoted again a few years later.

It's forced me to look into plywood tanks to build on my own. Albeit I am having the darndest time figuring out thickness for viewing panels and then where to get glass above 12mm thickness in Canada.

Go through glass cages. The quote I got with them, was over half the cost, including the shipping to Calgary.

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear you got a sharp deal.

Wow! You saved me a lot of money for my new project. Thanks bro!

Any reason not to do Glass Cages again?

This is exactly what I was going to say.
