I emailed a company in China about giant acrylic tanks and they have a few acrylic monsters that are ten times bigger then the fiberglass tanks. I
The biggest thing right now though with bringing in a monster fish tank from China is not the maker of the acrylic but the cost to rent a shipping container on a ship. In that as if now if only one 560 gallon fish tank goes on the shipping container from Shanghai to Norfolk VA it is $1800 for a 20 foot long shining container. The fish tank however is $2200 but the container rental is $1800.
I also asked them about a 700 gallon L shaped tank too.
I also asked them about the idea of building a 2300 gallon six sided hexagon tank and they said it would come out to $13,500. The hexagon tank would be five feet deep with each side being five feet across and made out of two inch thick acrylic. The reason why I asked about this giant Hexagon tank is my dream is to have a massive 500 gallon plus hexagon tank in my house as apart of a system of three linked up giant fish tanks with water bridges for the ship to swim from tank to tank.
I'm trying to see if I could some how get a much smaller tank that could be sent by air mail or UPS from this company I'm talking to see if the company is real and the tanks are good before I start messing with shipping containers and really big tanks.
