Me and my cousin are going to try and build an aquarium, tank and stand, etc etc..

We need to know though has anyone attempted this, and if so, what shop did you buy your glass for the tank from, and what shop did you buy your wood for the stand from?

Can you get all of the supplies from home depot, lowes, etc?

Any other details master builders would like to poin out or extra hints they would like to give is appreciated....
 
What size tank are you planning? If you can find a glass shop local to you that will be the cheapest glass (no shipping). I know in my area I can buy glass to build a 180 for 260 bucks. (72 X 24 X 23 1/2) Thats with 1/2 glass and the edges polished also. Thats very reasonable I think.
 
looking to spend $500 tops, on wood nd glass together, heater, filter, and all that is in a dif class though... ill buy that seperate, my budget right now is pretty much $500-$550 for the glass and wood for the tank and stand..
