New shallow reef

[gabesreef]

Hi I’m looking to start a new shallow reef! Want to know if anyone knows a custom acrylic company that can build me a tank in south Florida. Also leave your suggestions for pre made aquariums having a hard time finding shallow tanks even in glass. I’m looking for something around 48-18-12

I made this tank in attached photo with glass sides, a plastic frame and PVC sheet bottom. It came together pretty easy and the whole project cost me only about $110. It's also easy to drill that PVC for plumbing.

Where did you get the glass that cheap?

Local glass shopped charge me just $65 for those four pieces each 24" X 10".

Here it is with water in it...

So you had them cut it did you drill the hole yourself? what kind of glass is that? You just did the silicon yourself?
