DeepArow Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hey guys, as the title says I'm wondering where the best places are in our province to buy these materials? I really want to try and build my first tank. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 One way you can always grab a couple of old tanks rip them apart and build from that. At least can hone your cutting and silicone skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least can hone your cutting and silicone skills. I was thinking about this project as well for the summer once school is done. I was considering ripping down an old tank(s) but buying sapphire glass for the viewing panel. Who sells it, and do they sell it in reasonable dimensions?

Psylant Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think Concept will sell whatever sizes you need for regular glass or starphire. I don't know what the prices are like compared to others. I was going to go down this road myself until I bought a 350g tub instead. A little easier on my wallet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Try a plastic supplier and make sure you get cast acrylic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepArow Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ya I thought about getting garbage tanks and doing a rebuild but it would take a lot of hunting to find the sizes I'm looking for and cut them to what I want. Also fish girl I've been looking for cast acrylic but can't find anything as thick as I need in Alberta..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepArow Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Awesome, that should help for my big project! Do they force you to do minimum orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 No idea, I doubt those because I needed a $10 box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
