Are you sure it is standard? I looked at all glass and perfecto's sites(the two big brands that are sold here) and I found ones that are 24" High, but not 12" high with the other dimensions still the same.

And if I find a wholesaler will I be able to get the tank at their price plus shipping or would I likely have to order a lot of tanks to make up for them only having to sell one?

If ya gotta ya gotta :D. Don't think I've ever heard of a better excuse ;).

Making one will be easy tho, look for a local glassier, get all you measurements together (remember the front & back overlap the sides and leave room for 1/16" silicone seal between the pieces) and with this size it really doesn't matter if the sides set on the bottom glass or around it, just get the measurements right.

The the glassier what you are making and make it clear the measurements have to be dead -on.

Keep us posted on what you do,

Lol, there's no money or room to get all those extra tanks :D I'll have to wait a while on the tank, unless I can get in touch with my friend who does acrylic work and he says it wouldn't be too costly. There's a super tiny chance we're moving towards the end of the year and I just want to have a cost estimate in my head so I'll be able to either way. If we do move I want to wait until after we have so I don't have to try to move the extra, but if we don't all I'll have to do is put it together. Hm. I may call him after work and see if I can get in touch. . .
