So, as some of you know, I'm in the process of building a new house, and yesterday was my birthday (yay me!).
Today, at my actual party, my present was my wife giving me the ok to go ahead with my crazy scheme of building a bookshelf on one wall of the living room with a giant ass fish tank in it. Pic for reference. Imagine this but like 3' taller with a fish tank taking up the extra space between the shelves and the cabinets.
Now unfortunately, the bookshelf thing limits me to roughly a 2' width; and glass sheets top me out at about 12' long. I don't want to be bothered with building it. The past few years have been VERY hard on me, and Ijust can't be bothered at this point.
That being said, the only seemingly legitimate source of tanks on this scale are Glass Cages and Dolphin Aquaculture. GC is my top pick right now. Dolphin has great products, but I feel like they're overkill in both build and price for my need.
There's a few local companies that make acrylic tanks, but that comes with a premium on cost that I don't really want to pay.
Any suggestions that may be available would be greatly appreciated. I'm still not entirely certain that this plan will ever actually see the light of day, or that I won't downsize to a 300 or something, but I'd like to explore my options. I'm probably going to turn my old, trusty, and ugly 150 into a sump.
Thanks all!
PS- I see all the PM's. I'm not ignoring you, it's just been a busy couple of days!
