Custom Aquarium

[reef28]

Hello Reefers

I'm going big on a custom aquarium 10ft H x 9ft W x 8ft D . Does any body know of a custom builder or vendor.

World Class Aquarium on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn made some Huge tanks back in the day. They made the giant aquarium that Dave Letterman dunked himself in while wearing the "Alka Selter Suit"

 

[fritz]

Out of curiosity how many sides glass?

 

[marki24]

Is that going to be fish only? You're going to need some serious lighting for that monster if you plan on keeping corals.

HEY NICK whats up do you mean 10ftlong x36x36 where are you puting this tank :Up_to_som i know you dont have room for the messuirments you gave I should know i set up your last two tanks lolololol

 

[spykes]

uhm that's public aquarium size lol. to run something like that will be very very very expensive. the best way to do this is to use concrete then overlay with fiber glass or wood, then epoxy seal the walls. Make it only 1 side viewable. Humidity will be kicking.

 

[Nsr250NYC]

you should let spykes build it. lol

 

[fritz]

That's why I asked. A 3 sider of that size is....crazy. I would checkout the large tank thread on RC for more input.

5,386 to be exact!!:bablefish :bablefish

 

[SethKim]

crox99!
Sorry to bust your calculation, but its slighly over valued!!!!
you took the volume of the outer dimensions, keke
you have to get the thickness of the glasses or the inner dimension and convert it to gallons!!keke sorry to bust your chops

how do you figure it out by the way!??
