Hey do you guys know where I can order glass panels to build my own tank? I have been looking around but I can't find anything. Thanks
If you are willing to pay that much for just the glass, is there a reason why you are not just buying a pre-made tank?
does it have to be new? if you were to look on craigslist or some other forums online you can fins ridiculous deals on tanks. Save some money there, that way you have more money to spend on other areas of your setup
You are right -- tanks that large are very expensive brand new. Do you have any LFS in your area? Mine always have used tanks of various sizes that they get from people and resell. I got my 240 with a stand for $100 from my LFS.
Some people have had success building their own large tanks out of plywood. You may want to google plywood tanks and see if that looks to be up your alley.
Congrats! Sounds like a great deal.
Thanks Sarah! The build won't start for a couple of months but a least I already have the tank.... Now off to start planning...... :)
Congratulations!That was the inexpensive part of the hobby.Now comes the lights,skimmers.rocks.
