I need a weird sized tank..

[Gboy66]

I want to add a sump into my stand...but it is a weird shape. I could buy a smaller tank buy i wantto utalize all the space i can. The dimensions of the stand are 17x22x27". Where can i get a weird tank size like this without breaking the bank or making it myself? Any standard cubes i could get that would fit? Any ideas would be appreciated..im just kinda thinking out loud here.

I would cough up the $$$ and get one made by AA or ReefApple. as for the dimensions are you going by LxWxH? I think you might have it all backwards. a sump that size will run you about $269+ custom made to your liking.

Less talk to John. Mine was 400$> and was 4x that size. I am sure 250$>

So roughly 250? Not sure if i could do that. My budget for the whole thing us roughly 300 and i want to buy a nicer skimmer. But i could always scrape up more if it was needed. So who do i talk too? Im sorry, i dont know many people by first name

hit up john from AA, I paid $260 for my 24x18x18 2day turn around in my hands

How about a cooler and glue some baffles into it, or a small rubermaid bin from Target.

John owns the company Advanced Acrylics, just google it.... or Reef Apple (a sponsor here) is also able to do that work and they make really nice products.

 

[wickedfish]

Try reef apple as they are a sponsor.

 

[SchnitzelReef]

Not to diss reef apple, but I think they are going to be a bit pricier than john. However u might get better customer service....john is known for bad customer service, But the best prices, and the best quality. Hit him up, he can work with u on price. Sometimes he can cut some corners, a build it cheaper if that's what ur looking for.

Pm me if u need his number.

For cheap glass you can try fujimoto in gardena. Their silicon is sloppy, but for a glass tank that size like that i bet is less than $100.

*stupid question* lol

Why not use a standard size tank and use a skimmer externally in the wasted space?

 

[Reef Bullet]

Where are they located? Thanks!

fujimoto in GARDENA.

Why not just cut out that back wall and then you can push the tank in further and be able to shut the cabinet door.
Our stand was kinda like that and we removed the center cabinet divider and braced it with a 2x4.... I'll try and post pics...

 

[dorkymk3]

what is your measurments. I have a 9-12g sump that might fit there

I was just talking about that with my mom. Thing is, it holds a lot of weight for the tank. We could brace it, but she is opposed to that

Really?! It is 16.5x19.5x27

Really interested if it'll fit
