pdxmonkeyboy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yeah costume? What is a costume tank? Like an aquarium costume? That would be pretty funny actually! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Fixed the title for you. I purchased my tank from Custom Aquariums. Your best route will ultimately be determined by budget. There's low budget custom builds, mid-range, and then top shelf stuff. Anything from Glass Cages to Reef Savvy and lots in between.

jtarmitage Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If you're interested in acrylic, Jason with Clear Fabrications does beautiful work and is semi local up in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If going acrylic well..................only one name James at Envision............... If glass well like Higher Thinking said go custom aquariums.........if you have a lit of cash and time well Reef Savy...............they are top of the line but as stated there expensive and the wait time is there ......................... what size tank are you after ?

stephanie Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I am looking for a "240" cube. 4'x4'x2' glass. I'm not looking to switch over until spring, so not in a hurry. I would like to have a plan and a budget. 😃 Glass cages had a decent price delivered, anyone get any of there tanks before? The front and sides will be low iron, I'm not sure if I want the overflow to be dead center of the tank or on the back wall. Thoughts? Also I have a couple of large tangs, will they be able to get there "tang swim" on in a 4' tank? I plan to have rock work in the center of the tank so they can swim around it.

obrien.david.j Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Stephanie, I'm looking for almost the same size tank upgrade. Approx 4' x 4' x 27" tall, GLASS. Viewable on front and left side. right side against a wall, back will be completely hidden. Current design is whole back wall is a coast to coast overflow, into an overflow trough outside the tank. (Think of this as a 4' x 4' x 27" on three sides, and 26" tall on the whole back wall - feeding an Outside the tank overflow box on the back wall. Yes, there will be a screen w/teeth to keep fish/snails from going over the overflow.) I haven't surveyed suppliers well yet. Keep us updated what you find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think we should have a listing somewhere for all the custom tank builders and a way for people to leave feedback. It is one of the most important and expensive investments in the hobby so one definitely wants to do their research. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Stephanie, I have a Glass Cages tank about 5X3X2. If you like you can swing by to take a look. Tank is in Ridgefield, WA. I will be leaving on the 15th for Florida, so would have to be soon. I will be selling the whole system as I now live 6mo in Key Largo and 6 mo here.

stephanie Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thank you for the offer Ken but I live in Redmond Oregon and I don't have plans to be in that area any time soon. Have you been happy with the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yes, for the price. The silicone is slopy and I had to trim it up a bit. The glass does not have the nice bevel that some have. Built storng and exactly to my measuremenmts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
