Iam after people who can build tanks, and are good at it. As the tank will need 2 holes in the base i need it too be a good job..

I want a 2ft tank divided and a whole on each side in the base too use as a filter...

Wondering if anyone knows anyone who could make such a thing?? Just a normally 2/3fter but must be able too drill holes aswell..

To bad your not in Sydney the guy who makes a lot of tanks for the shops up here in Sydney is on my speed dial :)

He lives around hte corner from me adn makes whatever you ask of him.

I would add that if you can find out who makes the tanks in your state locally to you. Do this buy going to other fish club meetings adn askign around as people with lots of fish inevitably know a tank maker but its finding out who knows them and getting the contact details.

Oh well good luck on your search mate.

I know i aint much help :wink:

Check out the trading post too, There is someone who makes them, There name is Alex.
very cheap too!
I got a quote for a 2x2x2 foot tank using 6mm glass, only 40 bucks!
While mentone were going to charge just under 200 bucks!

I am a bit worried about the weight of tank with water roughly 220 L

I am not sure about the dynamics of water wieght with 6mm glass, but 6mm glass is rather thick!
But in saying that 10mm would be better, i guess it depends on how well the overall tank is made!
