Cutting cylinder aquarium?

[Ksreefer]

Is it possible to cut a glass cylinder aquarium? Obviously not with house tools, but would a glass shop be capable of doing this? I have a 300 gallon cylinder I would love to cut down to fit better into my new house and was curious!

It's possible, question is, is it advisable. A diamond blade with water will cut it but a jig would likely have to be made to hold the tank while it's cut and a jig may have to be made to hold a saw also. If the issue is not being able to go through a door frame maybe going through a window might be an option instead.

If cutting is only to get it inside through a window or door . I wouldn’t cut the tank but would remove a section of the wall and move the tank in and later rebuild the wall that was removed

2x4's, sheetrock, and paint are cheap compared to cutting that tank

Have you actually used this tank in the past?

I doubt you’ll find a Glass Shop, that will even drill an Aquarium. Quick Internet Search revels that tanks Dimensions are 48 x 48 x 36 H, total height including removable glass shelf canopy and the stand is 77". Here at least one entrance on new houses has to be a nominal Minimum of 36”. It can be a single door, double door, or slider where both panel can be removed.
