Shallow Tank

tunicata · 05-20-2008, 02:35 PM

Looking for a Glass tank w dimensions similar to:

24x 24x 12 or 36X36X12-16 or 36X24X12-16 tank

(think clam tank)

Would like it to be drilled for drain and return (very flexible on where these holes are), should already have bulkheads installed (or just let me know exact needs sch 40/80 and size).

I don't need a stand/etc but am open to it if its a package. If it comes with plumbing etc that's fine.

PM/Post pics and prices, am very open to packages etc.

So far in terms of businesses I could get this:
glasscages.com

But want to try boards or see if I can build it first ( just because).

I am available for these locations:
New Jersey, NYC, New Haven , CT area, Maine
I can pick up from any of these as I frequent them often. Not in a rush

Cheaper?? Lol, I was originally going to acrylic but was told that it was more expensive to do right.

You made a tank for the swap? You didn't take pics did you...Are you getting rid of it after the swap

(though 6" high is too short I think, I want to keep a ~2" sandbed)

I want to eventually swap everything (mostly) out of my current tank and keep it in this new one (including anemones and hopefully its long/roomy enough for a tang). I've been seeing a lot of short tanks fully stocked and I think its very pretty. Plus I'll finally be able to keep clams with my lighting (though I've also upgraded that...).

they will come if you build it

my fault , i meant to say build it yourself and its cheaper.

the one i use for the swaps is the 6" tank, most ppl dont use sand it too heavy to carry around along with the rest of the equipment , but . the frag tank im currently using is 10" high . 20" wide , 5ft long
