LF Cube/Cubish Aquarium - Vancouver area

ReefOcean · #1 06-28-2011, 09:52 PM

I have been to every store that seels aquariums and I am at a loss. My last options are Glasscages in the US, or ask around here.

I am looking for an aquarium with dimensions around 24wx24dx16t. No more than 40 gallons. 35 gallon being optimal. Glass or acrylic. If somebody makes acrylic tanks here, even better. I don't require any kits like the biocude.

Hope you guys can help

DID YOU CHECK OUT OCEANAQUATICS?

Correction, every store but Ocean Aquatics heeh. Bit out of the way. I went to JL, Pet Smart, Mr Pets, Petcetera and a couple of the Pet Habitats...suprisingly, Pet Habitat had the best selections.

Does Ocean aquatics have this size of tank?

EDIT: I went to Island Pets Unlimited as well

have you tried asking your LFS to order one for you?
i ordered one of similar dimensions a few years back.

I was there on the weekend and there are a few used and new tanks that fits the bill, give Jim a call and he will send you some pictures, or as stated above, the boys will custom make one for you, JL or OA. Which ever is easier for you.

yes, JL for some reason couldn't, or wouldnt. Pet habitat only has access to tanks it's limited suppliers had and I really didnt bother with the chain stores for obvious reasons hehe.

Marineland makes a 45 gallon cube that fits ur requirements. Jl aquatics carry their line, they can order it for u.

Cool thanks, I will give Ocean Aquatics a call.

As for the Marineland, if it is the one I am thinking of it was a little too tall for my liking. I am going for wide, deep and shallow pretty much.

Heh, I've been looking for a tank of similar size for the past month. However, I'm going the cheap route and trying to find a used one for cheap. Let us know where you got it and for what price.. I might get impatient enough to actually buy a custom made one or something.

Thanks,

I was looking at getting a new one as my tank is looking a little beaten up after a few moves. To custom build one in your dimensions you are looking at $400 - $700, depending on whether it is rimless and what kind of over low you want.
