Prices for new tanks
Hello all.
My fiance and i are looking at moving to a newer house sometime in the next year or 2 and when that happens, i would like to set up a new tank instead of moving my current setup. I currently have a 75g but i think i want to move up a bit in size. My options are going to be limited to the space available which i dont know yet, but in order for me to budget, i need to know how much im looking at. All the tank journals are awesome to read over but there is a lack of prices shown =P. I would REALLY like to set up a 150g 48Lx24Hx30W with an external overflow. I know the odd size alone makes it necessary to get it custom built, but i dont want to start calling tank builders (who by the way i have no idea who does it around edmonton) until im closer to pulling the trigger. If that falls outside the budget then ill have to start keeping a close eye on the FS listings. I just dont know what to expect with a custom built tank, so im looking for a ballpark number. |

It's hard to guess on something custom. Overflow style glass clarity ( starphire vrs reg float) rimless euro braced one piece euro raced the options can go on for ever. So to manage a guess could be way off the true cost.. I'm sure they don't mind you bothering them so that you can have a ballpark price to save up for

umm i think thats a typo. that would make a 150gal tank $15,000. that sounds a bit excessive
