UK Acrylic tanks

[Paul_MTS]

Apart from the companies in the back of PFK magazine (Talking plastics and neptunes) does anyone know where i can get a large custom acrylic tank made in the uK.

I'm looking at doing a 120"x44"x30"

i know someone who got a 8x4x2 made and will ask him and reply again

Thanks very much, could you find out how much he paid for it aswell?

Cheers.

I'd also be very intrested in this information. I'm looking for a tank of around the same dimentions.

Here's a reply i got on another forum..

I never got back to them about the 10 footer but a 96x36x30 ( or was it 24"), was about £1300 if i remember, not sure though

that was a quote from neptunes.

hi mate, i got your pm Dixon.

i got my tank from neptunes in the back of pfk lol, just were you dident want to know lol.

my tank is 8x4x2 and cost me £1200 for the bare tank, then theres delivery on top of that.
you will find that because you are going over 2ft tall your price on an acryilc tank will go threw the roof. my size tank is in 10mm acrylic.
my mate bought one from the same place and his is 7x2.5x2.5. it cost him £1400+ for his i carnt remember the figure but his is in 12mm acrylic because of the depth.

Cheers for that, maybe I'll just go 2ft depth then, I won't have anything in there over 2ft I don't think.

I guess I'll just have to have chat to Neptunes and find out how much extra it will be.

It wasn't that i didn't want to know about them but was hoping for a un heard of company with great online service!

Day off tomorrow so will hopefully get a quote off Neptunes and BOSS.

can't believe I didn't find these prices on neptunes site before...

"Acrylic Prices

48”x24”x24” - £385.00
60”x24”x24” - £485.00
72”x24”x24” - £595.00
84”x24”x24” - £695.00
96”x24”x24” - £795.00
108”x24”x24” - £895.00
120”x24”x24” - £999.00

Delivery from £99.00"

I guess I would expect atleast £1500 for my tank.

If I said I wanted a water column of 24" height but the tank may end up being 27/28" high do you think this would still push the price up alot moving it into different thickness brackets?

Typically there shut tomorrow so have to wait until Thrusday now.
