LF: Tank Builder in Vancouver

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I don't know if thats a good price but my custom 130G was built for about $100 less by a company in Victoria. I may end up going back to them...

That is probably Starphire though right?

I kind of want acrylic.

yep, Starphire front & sides.

It's just what I was looking for before I bought a Solana cube.

I heard a Canreef member here in BC makes acrylic tanks?

.

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Where did you get the solona cube? I really like those.

I got it from King Ed's a couple of weeks ago.

I did a little review of it here.

I like it so far but I worry that the glass is too thin (5mm)

.

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Yeah seems kind of thin...I think I may look for an acrylic building who can do a rimless cube with thick acrylic. I kind of want a sump still as well. If anyone knows a good acrylic worker, please let me know!

Cool, let me know if you find anyone.

wonder if this is a tempered tank 4mm would be okay for this.
I saw the one at king ed and it had polished sides.

It cost me about $550 in glass for my 24x24x30 cube.
12mm tempered all panels.
3 sides Starphire. (cost 2x regular)
1-3" hole
1-2 1/2" hole
6-1 1/2" holes
Polished all sides.
And assembled by me.
I don't know if that helps but it gives you an idea on what a glass cost is.
I get glass direct though and we buy lots so that helps as well.

$899.00 does not seem too bad for a 24" cube.
call Kren plastics in coquitlam to get a cost on a acrylic tank.

I'm not sure if it's tempered glass or not as I can't find it anywhere in Current-USA literature or website.

$550 for the glass sounds good. Maybe you'll get a pm from me when I'm ready to build my 150+gallon reef

Kren build some crazy stuff!
