I submitted a request for a quote on a 96x48x24 acrylic tank from Tenecor. I got the quote last night for $2310 shipped. My question is, they also included in the quote $190 per pre-filter. Exactly what are they talking about when they say "pre-filter"? Are they referring to overflows?
Either way, that seemed like a pretty good price, shipped to my door!
The prefilter they refer to are the overflow boxes. That's a good deal, I'd jump on it. With the price of acrylic going up due to it being a petroleum product, it's probably not going to get any cheaper.
Something else to keep in mind, the Tenecor I bought (8x3x2) only had holes in the top for the lids and the overflow boxes. There are no slots on the back for any type of hang off stuff. If you have any hang off equipment you want to run, you'll have to get them to add holes for this.
And when they say "shipped to your door", they mean a truck will show up with a lift gate and a pallet jack and one guy. If you're lucky, he can get it close to your front door. But the policy is delivery right off the back of the truck. So be prepared with some help to get it from the street to the house.
***Edited To Add***
The standard holes and bulkheads for the drain and returns seem kind of small to me. My 350g came with 2-1" drains and 2-3/4" returns.
