GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Share November 28, 2014 I need to get a wider tank because our fish are growing fast and we won't be moving til next year. Also there is no room for my acros to spread out and i have a few more to add soon. I hope adding a little more room will keep the fish and coral a little less stressed til we can move and setup or dream tanks. I am wondering what companies can ship out a tank in good time and have comparable prices to glass cages. I have never been able to afford a new tank so this is new grounds for me. Hoping to get one asap not in 2 or 3 months. Looking to get a 3' by 2' by 16" to 20" high tank. Its not much but better than the 40 breeder I have now. I also can get the tank made 3' 3" long if a company can do that, which would help because every inch counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 Thoes dimensions are way off from what I need. Does deep blue make a 3' 24" footprint tank? I can't find one but thought they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 I need this dimensions to use my existing stand and make it fit in with the rest of my aquariums. I emailed deep blue. Really wondering everyone's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 I need either a 36" long 24" wide 16"-20" tall tank Or a custom 39" long 26" wide 20" tall tank Either rimless (preferred) or standard Want a coast to coast external on the 24" side but can settle for a reef ready. The dimensions have to be one of these options. I emailed deep blue and mericales. Not sure who else would have good prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 I have a 40 breeder so a 36 by 18 by 18 wouldn't be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 Not my cup of tea, but have you considered acrylic? Yes and it cracked almost catching my house on fire... :( Plus what people charge for acrylic tanks is obsurd considering how long it takes for them to get done. I want something snappy I heard reef escape gets tanks quick but not sure if they can get something other than deep blue if they don't have my dimensions. I emailed him too.

AlanM November 28, 2014 Share November 28, 2014 Sounds like you would like a 36 inch 90 gallon tank? Those are not too uncommon, I think, but at 24 tall might be too tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 28, 2014 Author Share November 28, 2014 Yea I thought about that, and that's exactly why I don't want it 24" tall because its sitting high on a stand to begin with. I also want it shallow so I can get better light penetration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 Feel like driving to dallas to get one? It fits your dimensions and is basically new, but has a center overflow. Like really in the center, not the back wall, heh. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2455582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 Glass cages custom builds right? There is a shop in NC that builds nice custom sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 Send Decadence a PM. He is planning to build glass tanks. Not sure if he is ramped up yet, but he could give you a price for the exact 39 inch size you want and a build timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 30, 2014 Author Share November 30, 2014 That's right he did tell me that a while ago, thanks. Glass cages is looking like an option. Delivery would be within a month and the price is right. Plus they will do my custom dimensions. I am OK with buying a smaller tank from them. When we buy our large tank when we move we will go with someone who pays a little more attention to detail. Though I am still wondering what my other options are.

jam583 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 I can get you the DSA Model 90, 36x24x25, glass, drilled. Overflows how you want. I have some good specials going on with Deep Sea Aquatics. Can deliver to you. Sent you a PM as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraffitiSpotCorals November 30, 2014 Author Share November 30, 2014 A 24" tall tank is to high for me so that won't work. The highest I will go is 20 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
