Noooo, not NL. I've been trying to get an acrylic 10' now for years, tried every vendor from here to BC. All prices was in excess of $10-15k plus between $2500-$3500 for shipping. Even the lfs cost was $10k plus $3k freight and that was glass. You'd need 20+ people to help ya move it, don't know if I even know that many people!!! Lol.

I had it built and shipped from The Aquarium Company for less than half any offer in Canada and the freight from Winthrop, Mn was only $1k. Locked in at a good price because they told me the price of the tank from the time I ordered to the time it shipped had gone up $1600. Locked in low with a strong Cdn dollar. Finally, some good luck!

Lol nope, Attach them with the "Attachment Icon" (Paper Clip) Then select the images you want in your post, After they are done uploading look at the bottom of the upload screen for the percentage. Go back to the Paper Clip and your picture will be there. Click the Link and they will be added to your post.

Good luck.

Whoa ten feet must be fun for those fish! From what little you've posted the build looks great... I didn't even know about the blog functionality here I never saw this stuff posted. Can you post a larger FTS (full tank shot) your scape looks nice.

You used the correct tags but are referencing a file on your hard drive. You need to use the absolute path to the file after you upload it somewhere.

Newbs!!! LOL. This is a better pic of the full setup.

I'll have to fool with the camera settings to try and get a good one with the fish in it. So far, everything looks like garbage after I take them.
