It aint that hard to DIY a tank. Its just the matter of logical thinking and trusting your own knowledge:) the thing thats the most expensive is the glass.

i tried asking for a quote before.... just the glass will set me back $2-3k.... and not a good choice for my first DIY to be such a huge project... lol

overall i was quoted $6k+ to have it made.... reckon i will only save $1-2k.. which i feel, it may be better off getting a professional to do it...

i only have knowledge in spending money :cry:

Dang that much for the glass? Im in the planning stage of 12000L tank atm. Got quoted 7200sek for two panels thats 260x80cm in 12mm tempered glass thats roughly 750usd on the glass. The pondliner is another 350usd then about 400usd for the wood

yes... glass are quite expensive here. Pondliner i think cheaper as i can get from china. wood should be cheap

Looking foward to your next tank.... just maybe i could not resist and just go ahead and order my own but mine will be outdoors :ROFL:

Yeah i wanna go bigger but 600x250x85cm is quite large? im thinking about building the tank higher but that will run away on the price of the glass. I think its possible to build 90cm high with 12mm glass but its on the edge of what the glass can handle.
