Buying BIG tanks

[RT2]

who has the largest tanks without having to do custom builds?? Does anyone stock 10ft long tanks?

Here's one example: I believe they only have acrylic.

Fish Tanks Direct

I believe they only have acrylic.

I updated the post above to include Glass Cages....glass tank, where you can have Low Iron glass on any or all panels. Check THIS out.


It's not a "big" tank, but HERE's the build thread of my five foot Glass Cages tank that I recently received.

Thats where ive been looking. I know it sounds silly but if i do 130” that extra 10” id have to take down a wall. I wonder why they do 130 instead of 120

Talk to them....I'm sure it's not an issue...but you'll pay for the 130. I purchased a 60 x 18 x 21 tank....which they don't have listed. However, they have a 60 x 18 x 24. I talked to them and no problem.....So I paid for this 24 inch high tank, but received the 21 inch high tank. Again, I'm sure it's not an issue. Just have to check their delivery schedule and make sure they have a relatively close pick-up location near you. You will have to go pick it up. I had to drive about 30 minutes for my pickup. FYI, they are located in Tennessee.

I see in you're avatar information you have NoLa for location.....assuming NoLa is New Orleans, LA, they delivered on Feb 17, 2018.....they have approximately three months to repeat that delivery location. Hope this helps.

We are leaning toward the 540 C3, but that 730 would be awesome

 

[RT2]

Yes, we are in New Orleans area so relatively close. Good to know about the 3mth period. I appreciate the help and will give them a call! Thank you

Depends on how one defines 'custom'. If you mean it in terms of exorbitant pricing, then the places listed like fishtanksdirect and glasscages will give you a fair price. If you mean in terms of a stocked item made to inventory, then none of them qualify and you're limited to something like the Marineland 265 at 7'. I looked at glasscages when considering my last tank. They have good pricing, though most (all?) of their tanks are made-to-order, thus customizable. Ultimately I decided to go acrylic with FTD. Again made-to-order and I did have them customize it for me. Wish I could have fit a 10' tank; had to 'settle' for a 8' 450.
