How much do you think im looking at?

I need some ball park estimates for a custom tank i plan to get next year.
120"Lx60"Wx30"H acrylic with built in filter system (with bioballs) and a canopy and stand (lets say basic) with lights?

How much do you think im looking at? I had one company quote me at 25,000.00 (to me, hes full of junk if he thinks im going to pay that much).

your looking ar atound 1" acrylic or more depending on whos making it. But the length of the acrylic sheets are probably going to have to be special ordered. Your most likely going to pay well over 10,000 for this

I know someone that just bout a 120"*48"*30" with the works canopy stand crazy filtration and its cost him $14K

$15-20k

1" acrylic.. petroleum product. Barrel of Oil goes up, so does acrylic.

My 1" acrylic 375g was quoted at $12k from the same company who made it 6 years ago for $7k..

I just thought of another option...
I was thinking of taking out one of my walls (hallway that devides the living room and one of my rooms) and making it a canopy and stand (im going with the thought of tank in the wall) and just ordering a 12'X6'X4" acrylic tank with the filter system/lights. If I go this route, ill prob have to wait 4-5yrs when I rebuild my house and have the contractors make the canopy/stand and floor for the tank realy stirdy. Just thinking out loud and reviewing some options. It might seem cheaper and prob look nicer huh?
