you could build it? some people on the DIY section has built a massive tank

this would be in my living room, so im wanting acrylic, i dont think i could handle 15ft sheets alone lol. and im not going to put a plywood tank next to my tv, as well as my wife would not allow it. if it were going in a basement i would be all for a concrete tank or plywould setup..

There was a guy on Cyphos.com selling one

Are you gonna take down a wall or something to get it in?

I dont know if you could have a tank that big that is just acrylic without building a supportive structure around it with wood and/or concrete.

Sure ya can, i have seen 20ft acrylic tanks, dont need any supports, just a stand which i will make out of steal more then likely. ya the one on cyphos is 2x2 to small still. i wont need to take down a wall as long as one of the dem is under 32" and the wall im putting it on is strait in my front door

only difference with a larger tank is the thickenss of acylic or glass

Wow.

That would be awsome.

i've seen a custom tank when i was in AZ at a sports bar and they had an acyrlic tank with salt water fishes that was 20ft long and about 4ft wide so i think it is possible. my friends in AZ thought i was weird that i just stared at the tank the whole time while they were watching sports.

lolz, are yout geos breeding that much that you need a 15ft tank??? the reason it cost alot for 15ft tank is most common acrylic sheets come 8ft long only. good luck with your search though.

nope has nothing to do with my geo's tho i want a mix of many geophagus in it and plenty of room for my scarlets im trying to go with the dream SA Biotope setup, with plenty of room for all of the species i want to keep.

and yes anytime you go over 8ft its double the price for a sheet, and if your going with 10ft you may as well fo with 12 or 15ft.

every once in awile il see a rest going out of busn and there looking to unload the show tank for cheap.

im just hopeing to not have to go thru a acylic company just yet if i dont have to.

the 16 footer on cyphos is nice but still 2x2 i want larger as my 240 is 2x2 now
