Thanks! Normally it is a lot cheaper to do it this way. Buying a manufactured tank involves the cost of shipping and price mark ups. Locally, buying an Aqueon 180 gallon would run me $1200 before taxes. I am a good customer at this shop so I get a discounted price. Black trim on a tank is nice as is a suspended bottom, but they're not necessary. I dont even want to know what a tenecor tank of this size would cost me.

That's why you see 3 guys doing the build. It's a matter of putting one piece up at a time and having the experience to do it right. This guy builds most of the big custom tanks in this town.

Trim is mostly for show. Cleans up a tank and hides the glass edges and silicone.
how do you make a tank and what are the materials because i want to make atleast a 100 gal or 200 gal to keep a few larger fish but i dont know wat fish if i ever get a 100 gal tell me whats the biggest fish i can put in there singly and wats the biggest fish i can put in a 200 gal singly.
