Help on buying a 120g

[Ryan]

Somone on here bought a 180 gallon and had to put it together themselves. But I remember it was CHEAP somthing like $350 bucks for all the glass. Your 120 wouldnt be that much but for a new tank its tough to beat that if your confident in building one yourself. Red Coral would be happy to drill the holes for you as well.

Thanks for the reply Ryan,

Yeah, I've used silicone lots in the last 20+ years of my mechanical career, and don't have to much fear of putting one together if the pieces were cut and edged right. I also don't mind spending a few extra bucks to have someone with all the right tools and gear to do if for me.

Anyone know if purchasing pre-cut/finished (ready to be put together) glass sheets in a good/available option, and where I might purchase the glass.

I think I'll hit up Kevin at RC today for a quote on a new tank. I'm pretty handy with wood, and think I can build myself a good stand no problem.

Thanks,

Clint

Bow Valley Aquariums (I think thats the name) was the place the glass was purchased. I beleive the person said it was another $150 to have it built. I dont know what anyone else would price you just going off what I can remember.

I just set up a new Aqueon ( all glass aquarium) 120 48x24x24 a couple months ago with dual overflows. Bought it brand new for $580, plus $110 for the overflow plumbing kits for the Dursos. Tank works like a charm. Go new if you can afford it.

Hi Burgerchow,

What Diameter overflow holes does the tank have?
