Check out http://www.glasscages.com

They have a list of tanks dimensions and prices. They are reasonable. That will give you a good idea. Shoot them an email regarding extras for low iron (starphire) glass and eurobracing.

HTH,

thanks guys , anyone have any plans or layout options for bulkheads overfows etc or should i just ask glass cages

Decide what you want to keep in the tank before you purchase. Keep in mind that most overflows are tared at 600gph. So you might want a second overflow. As far as closed loops go, personally I like Tunzes doing the job. The new votech pumps look ver promissing also.

As far as the glass choice goes look into the starphire low iron option for the front pane.

I can check the price on cutting the glass

I am asking my friend who owns a glass shop to go into building aquariums so that I can use some of the custom designs of mine for experiments.

She can custom cut glass for sure and build tanks for resturants on site in the city but I am not sure if she will do that in your location. Pick up is of course fine. I let you know when you quoted me.

Remember the lighting. Tall tanks require higher wattage ie more costs.
