Hey I don't know where you found the calculator but ya that is the one i was thinking of! Sweet I am bookmarking that again for sure!!
to move my 480g. it took 4 of us, not because of the weight but because of the bulk. 8x4x2x 3/4"
I found this tank for sale on craigslist for $500. Still at tenecor, brand new. The guy had it built but decided to build a bigger one now. It was for his salt water nautilus. Im debating on buying it due to the huge overflow that wastes space in the middle and the kind of abnormal dimensions. It is 42x32x40 high. It comes out to 230~ gallons, made of 3/4" acrylic, with 1.5" acrylic on the bottom. If I could remove that overflow in the middle I would be all over it... decisions... help me out! It's either this or build my own 48x38x24 acrylic, but the price on that is over double would I could pick this one up for.
Crap the overflow's in the middle? What the hell? Mine came with the overflow in the middle of the back wall and that was bad enough...would rather have it in the corners but craigslist tank, you take what you can get. I think you could probably remove it as long as you could get a tool in there to do it, some kind of skill saw that you could saw through it and take it out, then buff off the rough spot where it was.
