This question is for those of you out there that have built your own tanks. Im looking into building a 75-100 gallon tank. Was wondering how much it cost those of you who built your own of about the same size??

I want to make it out of glass. I dont need to build a stand, Im going to use the dresser I already have. It is strong enough and stable enough to hold a tank of this size.

Any help or suggestions before I start building would be greatly appreciated.

Several sites that might help you out.

www.garf.org/tank/buildtank.asp

and

The garf site especially has great instructions, just plug in the size you want your tank to be, and it gives step by step instructions including the exact size to have the glass cut....

Have fun.

I have a issue with the garf site, the sides, front and back should sit on to bottom glass, he has them around the base..

I wouldn't know, it is just a site I have come across.....haven't actually built one myself......but I did e-mail back and forth with someone who does it for a living, who is quite willing to share information.

Keith at windsor-aquatic@go-plus.net he builds custom tanks in the UK.....

You might be able to get some really custom help, or hire him!
