225g tank in UK?

[lungfishlover]

can anyone help point me in the right direction of sourcing a 225g in the uk or would i have to build one? if so can you point me in the right direction as to how i go about building one? it would be to house some birchirs, knifefish and possibly a gar( if i can get hold of one in the uk?).
i figure its best to buy/build a tank for the fish to be housed in permanently.
any help would be greatly appreciated as this site is great but it has oodles and oodles of info to trawl through and i dont really have time at the mo with a newborn and moving house and starting a new job.

thanks guys and girls in advance!

Ahh another insomiac lol
Check out Aquarist-classifieds.co.uk and go to the aquarium and equip. There is lots of companies on there who make tanks, to me they seem like fair prices.
For DIY just take a look on the DIY section of this website, plenty of builds on here.
They are all based on the same priciples with just a few variations and looking at them you don't need that many skills (I'm a carpenter of 10 years) just a few chosen tools which can be picked up cheap if you don't have them. The cheapest tools will be fine for a one of build.
Hope this helps and apologies if my spelling is bad and nothing makes sense. It is late and I am in desperate need of sleep

sorry by me saying you don't need many skills it sounds like I'm slating many of the builds on here which I'm not. Theres some great workmanship on here.
I meant to build a basic aquarium its not to complicated
sorry if i offended anyone,
