Wanted: 65-80cm Cube tank

Hi all,

As the title states i'm looking for a cube tank.
Starfire glass is preferable and 65-80 (80 being preferable).

Filtration and lighting is not required.
A nice stand is always welcomed but not necessary as i plan on having one built.

I am happy for a professional tank builder to contact me; however my endeavor's to find someone professional and most importantly being willing have failed.

Based in Johannesburg, West.

 

If you get the tank builder, I have 83x83 12mm with polished edges

 

@Whoknows is a builder

 

@Dolphin 83x83x? ,Please PM me pricing.
@Whoknows Would you be willing to use the pieces from Dolphin to make this tank.

Would a tank like this have to be braced, as i am looking for the cleanest possible solution. It will be an open top tank with a 180 view area.

I would like an overflow at the back; minimalist.

Thank you.

 

I'd say euro bracing would be sufficient, top and bottom. The. Middle of the tank is then free. But let the tank builder advise. @Whoknows?

Normal price is R350, if you take 5 then R200 each.

 

@Dolphin ah i read this all wrong intially.

5 panes of glass for R1000.
Tank then would be 83x83x83? Id have to trim this down to 60H

 

This is the idea, however with an open top and a neater cabinet stand.



An overflow box would probably be best but open to suggestions.

This tank will be placed in a corner; much like this picture. So the left side and front will be displayed to the coffee and wine seating area of the house.

 

You may have a problem getting someone to cut 12mm glass.

 

Ah, hopefully @Whoknows can advise.

 

@Whoknows This sounds like a good plan.

Please quote me on 83x83x60H (Polished edges?) with a slimline overflow.
The only issue with this is the pipes would come back. - Could you explain the issue with the pipes in more detail please.

I've used this* calculator with the specs 83cm(L) 83cm(W) 57cm(H) and 10mm Glass (estimated) and get the following. -Calculated H based on fill level but tank will be 60cm(H)
367.4L - I would guestimate 355L with substrate and hardscape.
Filtration at 1800 L/ph - Will a slimline filter flow this much? - I'm sure we can calculate this based on diameter and velocity (gravity fed).

@Whoknows i'l PM you details.

 

This is already grabbing my attention and there's no tank yet.

Going to be a dope tank once done

Might interest you.. Abit shallow though

 

Thank you, great find but yes I'd like a little more volume.
