redracer77 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I am looking at getting a new tank made but will need to get it shipped to Nelson. (unless someone can be recommended to make it closer) Has anyone had a tank shipped to them? What company have you used? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 not many freight companies will insure a fish tank. I guess if the tank builder can internally brace it with some 2x4 and polystyrene, and then surround it in poly and box it up, it shouldnt be a worry if its on a pallet. I can recommend Dave Evans if you are going to get one made in christchurch his tanks are perfect and prices just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Do you know Steve Ladds? He has a lot of big glass in stock at the moement, if you were interested in building your own tank? I know Tasman glass used to make tanks, I don't know if they do anymore however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I've seen Greg/Tanks2U shipping off fairly large tanks before, maybe give him a call and ask him who he would recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats who I just got a quote from, He said he doesn't ship anymore now that mainfreight won't take them. It was yours and Henwards tanks that made me contact him.
