Frag tank manufacturers

tom obrecht · 03/15/2018, 09:30 AM

I’m looking for any manufacturers of frag tanks. Ideally it would measure 48”L x 12” W x 10”H. I’m sure that is a custom size and have tried a couple tank manufacturers and their quotes are really more than I want to spend for a frag tank. Am wondering if anyone knows a a place that offers frag tanks that would be close to those dimensions in a “stock style” tank?

Deep Blue make a 48x18x12, but that's about as close as I am aware of.

+2 on the deep blue
I know.. I know.. I'm only +1 but I wanted to rhyme..

I love my 80G rimless tank from them..
And they are cheap/easily available (compared to a custom tank)..

Where do you find them? Online search only yielded two places, one wouldn't ship and the other was relatively expensive...

Get them from your local fish store.. Most should be able to get deep blue stuff I'd think..
Online pricing is more than you will pay going to your local fish store usually for any tank..

Online (fishtanksdirect I assume that you already found) wanted $550 shipped for my 80G rimless..
I think I paid $350 if that at my local fish store and just picked it up 3 days after I ordered it from them..

Why not just go with a 33 long? 48.25" x 12.75" x 13.375"

I am in the same boat. I will likely be picking up a 60x24x10 frag tank made out of 1/2 acrylic with stand for $700. Do you guys think that is a good deal?
