I might take you up on that, I'm just waiting to hear back from a few places on the glass.

When I was planning my own tank, the glass was going to cost me almost as much as having a tank made. And I knew someone working at a large glass shop in town. Hopefully you can find a better deal!

Hmm I wonder if it was the thickness of the glass that bumped up the price? I'll let you know in a few hours when my glass quotes are completed! I'll let you know if it works out to cost more or less.

Do you know if safari can order sea star tanks?

Thickness will determine cost for sure. I was getting something like a cost +10 price and it still wasn't cheap enough for me to do it myself.

Yes, Safari can order from Sea Star.

So the glass place got back to me, and it looks like it will cost $50 with 5mm glass, or $58 with 6mm.

What do you guys think for thickness of the glass?

That's for 5 pieces of glass plus eurobracing?
