J1NX3D Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi there, Im pretty surprised to find a forum exists in NZ for this kinda stuff but i spose i shouldnt be when i think about it! Im in west akl, im wanting to get a tank made: D240mm x L520mm x H415mm Anyone know where I can go locally? Ive had an offer of $55 to get one made but its pickup only from Rotorua. Any input appreciated! TIA J1NX3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 HI Jinks, Welcome to the NZ Fishroom. Could you please edit your profile and add your location to avoid a lot of confusion. I think there may be a tank maker in the Henderson area.. (not sure).. but I'm fairly sure there was a recent post about it... otherwise Hollywoods would possibly be able to fix you up.

Caper Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi! Will this be your first tank? Do you have others? This site is a vast "forum" of information Take care, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEYPLECO Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Ya, I spent alot of time pricing an odd sized large tank to be made specialy and the cheapest price, best delivery and service was the Hollywood fish farm on the north shore. They made it exactly how I wanted it from the glass thickness to black silicone joins, even supplied the polystyrine for the base of the tank. By all means shop around but be sure to give these guys a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 The place in Henderson that makes tanks is Tough Tanks, 42 Henderson Valley rd. They also sell tank accessories as well. I do know that they currently have spare a 1700 x 600 x 600mm tank, made of 12mm thick glass. Otherwise Greg is a good place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel1708 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi! I bought a tank made by Greg and it was the best one I ever had. Beautiful construction, thick 6mm glass and reinforced on the bottom. He sells them on Trade Me if your interested. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
