I am wanting to start a project that wont be completed until next year some time.
So what is the project i hear you ask lol ,,,
i am wanting to set up a tank for a pair of seahorses .
I know they require taller tanks than wider tanks , Here in the UK it is the general advice the tank must be 3 x the hight of an adult seahorse.
the tank i am looking at size wise is 24 inches x 15 inches x 12 inches.
I have contacted several companies in the UK for prices and OUCH i think i have had several heart attacks in the past 48 hours as companies get back to me.
i will give the UK price first and in brackets will be the US dollars equiv ( straight exchange )
£ 200 ----------- ( $301 )
£498 ------------- ( $ 750 )
£700 ------------- ( $ 1,130 )
Now no way in hell should such a small tank cost so bloody much ...
i can buy a tank from a store in the size i want but for it to work the way i need it to , i will need to remove one of the ends , get a sheet of glass cut to size and silicone that in what was the open top . so i can then stand it up right.
is this possible to do without being a risk of the tank braking ?
this is what i am wanting
