smidey Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 in my opinion the factory tanks over 4 foot look to long as they are often the same height & depth (front to back) as the smaller ones, i would go for a custom made over 4 foot so it can be made taller & deeper to look more in proportion.

Haizel Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah, after having a look at some I tend to agree, just not sure I can afford a custom built tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Custom made glass is much cheaper. You just dont get a nice tidy plastic hood and curved corners. 3 foot tank (150 litre) in our lounge was: $120 for the tank new and delivered $60 Shark ADV800 filter $30 150W heater $40 for the light (which was second hand, new price probably around $60-80) We just used an old table for a stand, but you could build or have something made for a few hundred make it look pretty. I used sand as a substrate too which is super cheap. We've got a large range of tanks from 20 litres to 650 litres here, all but one is custom glass. AquaOne etc tanks do look tidier out of the box, and they're a great unit, but not really a money saver Only all-in-one tank I have is a Jebo R338 38L cost me $99 on special .
