Looking into upgrading tank size, where did all of you get your 240-300 gallon tank

saltyfishdude · 02/26/2007, 01:33 AM

I am going to be moving in 3 to 6 months into a larger place and into someplace with a first floor so I will not have to worry about weight issues regardless of the tank I choose. I am planning on something around 260 - 300 or so. I will be converting my 100 gallon reef tank into my sump / refugium by adding baffle walls and dividers.

My question to all you medium to large home reef owners is, where did you buy and/or order your tank, what size is it, how much did it cost and was it shipped to you and for how much?

Please post some replies, the more the better. I have been planning this for about 3 months already, and it is now time to start seriously looking into a reputable company to build my custom tank....................

lfs? Im sure there is someone local that will be more than willing to order a larger tank for you.

Also, i know there are some large tank builders on ebay.

The largest perfecto tank is a 220/230. Outside of that you may have to have something custom made. My 350 was made and shipped from Inter-America in Canada. It was cheaper to have them do it at the time.
