Mrs Frog Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone here gets their glass cut at a shop for their tanks and if so how much does this cost vs buying a complete made tank. I'm looking at getting a 5ft tank made, my husband can make it but I have no idea where to start looking for the glass or what this might cost us. Thanks.

slappers Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Go to the glazers in the yellow pages maybe cost about @200 hunderd upwards for the glass and to be cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I always go to glaziers for glass or complete tanks. They don't have the markups that pet shops add to theirs. Added advantage they can make it to the exact size you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 You might be best and cheapest to got Chch have found small towns very expensive.. And yeah best bet is to goto glaziers or hope to find a second hand one somewhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Found it cheaper to get complete tanks here. To get glass cut and sides smoothed for a 1m x 700mm x 500mm tank was bout $480 and that was from glaziers. i agree with the others second hand shops normally have glass or off cuts are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
