new custom glass tank

bamachamp92 · Oct 13, 2009

I want a new tank built 8' x 3' x 27" high. I would like to know who has large tanks and who built them and some contact info if you know who to talk to. I want starfire from and external overflow. So who makes the best tanks?

I think Marineland makes that tank in a standard dimension.

Otherwise, being where you are, you might try Miracles or if you're a big baller, AGE :D

I cant find a marineland with those dimensions that is what I wanted first. My tank now is 8' x 2' x 36" tall I just want more front to back.

I think these might be the best but are pricey

those dimensions are going to be pricey,the marineland is a 6 footer when you to to 8ft and the 36 width you have to go to a new level of thickness on the glass, 3/4 inch. (SUPER HEAVY!!!)

I think acrylic would be your best option, i am currently looking to do a
96L X 48W X 30H BIG MONEY

just go 10x3x2'. When you go over 24" in height aquascaping, coral placements etc is a pain. 10' Starfire front my guess is 2500-3000.

are you only interested in local or are you willing to get shipped?

Leemar is the bomb.

why would going from 24 to 27" in height make things harder? If anything you would do the same thing w/ more room to grow...

ya marineland's biggest deep dimension is only 6' x 3' x 27". i would go with the original proposed 27". it seems to be the perfect height to me. mine is the 4' x 3' x 27" marineland. if you want the 8' or 10' i would do the lemar, they are pretty sick!
