Thankyou...

I havent posted a price list yet... i keep forgetting to...

so off the top of my head: (prices are in canadian)


Tank= $900

All lids for tank and filter= $140

Entire filter(minus media)= $170

stand = $70

All plumbing= $120

Media was around $250

Pump,heaters and lights were $400



I could be a bit off, but it was about $2000 including everything...

I got quotes from two differnt acrylic tank dealers, and to have this exact same tank built and shipped to me, they were both over $4000... for just a bare tank....
:D
 
Are going to atempt to build a 500 plus gallon acrylic tank in the near future?

Once you have the filtering system up and running for the 300 gallon would it be possible to use most of the same filters for the 500 gallon tank?

Yes, my next acrylic tank will be around 450 gallons. dimentions 100x51x20.5.

I think i will be sticking with the short heigth so i can continue to use 12mm cell cast acrylic. If i go any taller, i'll have to use something thicker, and the price after 12mm goes way up.

It would be possible for me to use all the same media for the new tank, but i will need a larger sump.
 
Your fish tank project is amazing would you ever sell the smaller one to put the bigger one in it's place.

Are you going to add more fish to your bigger tank or move the same fish from the 289 to the 450?
