where to find a 60x30x? tank

darb85 · 03/19/2010, 06:29 PM

Looking for a 60x30x 24 or 30 tank. I found one at glass cages, but Im worried about the quality issues they seem to have and a true custom build is prohibitivly expensive.

Another option is to build it myself, however Im wondering where to get the glass nessesary, Id want at least 5/8s glass, possibly star fire on the front and its hard to find a shop that has the tools to cut it. not to mention the proper tools i would need to build it and build the eurobrace it.

Id prefer 24 inches tall.

Those demensions you are looking for are custom so it will not be easily found.

found a local manufactuer that has a series of tanks at this foot print. prices on par with Glass cages, but nicer quality.

Check em out if you are local or if you arent, they do ship, quite economicly as well.

I paid right at 1,000.00 for my Deep Seas Aquatics Tank and Never had any problems after three years + They are the old Oceanic tank builders that started a new Co when Oceanic left Texas! FYI

My Oceanic is 60" x 24" x 29". Bought it a couple of years ago. Has dual internal overflows. Don't know if they still make that particular size tank? I actually have it for sale, but being in MI obviously not an option:-).
