75 Gallon Drilled

[Joe Fish]

What would this tank run me?

in glass it is probably around $300 for just the tank...with stand/canopy it will be anywhere from $500-$1000 depending on the stand and whatever extra crap they "give" you

 

[Joe Fish]

I just need the tank and that price is a lot lower than I thought it was going to be. This tank will make my move behind the wall a lot easier.

I don't know camaro, tanks are way cheaper on the west coast, I would expect to pay more than that on the east coast...if you can get it for that great...I would like to know where.

There goes my parade.....

got a 77 ( actually a 80 ) for 240$ CDN, so like 220$ USD. Solid, extra thick glass old school from Hagen, no brace but tempered all the way..so no drilling. But Hagen HQ is in montreal so maybe that's why it's not very expensive. The metal stand was pricey, considering it's just plain metal : 180 CDN$

Does it bow?

I got a AGA 75g for $150 at petco when I bought mine. I save about $80, for a 1/2 hour drive.

again, tanks are cheaper in florida too, this is not to say that you couldn't get a deal, I just think it might be harder, although everything is way more expensive in boston so I could be wrong...

Yah...good point aresgod. I was at the LFS today and the drilled 75g glass tanks were going for $289, but we are nearer to the center of the hobby.

 

[Mahamotorworks]

I would call the local Glass company and see if they can/will drill tanks. If so you can buy a AGA 75G tank and get it drilled. My 75G tank by AGA has a tempered Bottom only so you would be able to drill the back.

[KahluaZzZ]

no...doesn't bow...but again thick and tempered glass

 

[Joe Fish]

Alright, there is still hope. This project is in the very distant future. Just want to get some ideas. I may even try to convenience my wife that I need a 90g.

 

[Mahamotorworks]

A 90G is only 4 or 6 inches taller then a 75G. Height is good in a SW tank.

I'm looking for more width than the tiny 55. I would like some room between the front of the glass and the rock.

 

[TRe]

yea u can really tell the differance between my 125 and 55 width wise ........ i wish i could go reef in that tank but i cant cause the trigger/puffer

 

[Joe Fish]

A friend of mine just got a 75 and I was suprised that there is 5 more inches of width on it. I could really do some cool things with that. I have no where in my 55 to put a clam or various other LPS or SPS. I can't stack everything on the rocks. Need room for my star fish to roam around too.

 

[TRe]

watcha guna do with the 55??? imagine making a monster sump lol

 

[Joe Fish]

I did think about that, but I might just give it away.
