Well fellas! I have OFFICIALLY placed my order for three (3) new acrylic tanks! Not quite "Monster" tanks but plenty good for me! Here are the dimensions!

72"L x 36"W x 24"H........ Black back and sides, .5" acrylic, center overflows....

I feel like a little boy in Victoria Secrets! Or a grown man for that matter!

Now I just need to find a metal fabricator to build my stands! Recommendations?
 
You ordered three 270gal acrylic tanks? That must have cost a pretty penny!

No recomendations for metal stand makers, but am interested in what you will be keeping in them. so whats the stock going to be?

damn BALLA!! :headbang2

ask john PTC i know he made a metal stand for Calisucks.
 
You are my hero. Congrats!
 
:banhim:darn sean, you order fish, sell them, then you get new tanks? What are your plans?
 
Thanks fellas..... I'm pretty excited! It does seem like quite a few tanks for one order but it's spanning an entire wall in my garage! Believe it or not I told the "soon to be wife" that this is "DOWNSIZING" my collection! It'll clean up my collection and get rid of all those silly little tanks (including a mint 240 acrylic that will be on the market after I take delivery of these tanks!)

I've already sold 4 - 125g. and will be selling a bunch of 55g. acrylics tanks if anyone is interested.

dang must be nice. Took me forever to save up for a free 125 gallon =)

How much did that run you anyway? and where did you get them from?

:ROFL:

It wasn't cheap but I'm tired of thinking about it and dragging my feet..... had to order it before my wedding otherwise it'll be hard to justify it afterwards. I'm thinking one tank will be for either a pair of Umbee or Dovii. Another tank will be a Arowana and Frontosa tank...... gotta have my beloved Cyphos tank! And the last one will be Viejas like Nutty's tank. The picture below is borrow from him/Nutty...... gonna duplicate it if possible!

nice bro. where did you order your tanks from?

It's a company that R1-Ridah referred me to. They built his 600g. and several other tanks for other members of this forum! Very helpful sales person....
