Hi guys

I want to drastcally upgrade my 50g tank. At the mo I've got a common pleco, a silver shark cat and a couple of angels in there that are growing pretty dam quickly. I was fully aware when I bought these fish that I would have to get a huge tank. And of course it's not gonna be cheap.



Anyway, I've got room for 8ft long x 2ft wide x 2 or 3ft high. Can u buy these or should I get one custom made? Also I can go the 10ft long if need be.



I'm gonna start saving now and will probably have a ￡ 1000 by summer. How much do u thing it would be fo the tank and hood? I'll get to lights, filter and heater later.

Id upgrade to a 125, 6ft long. can get these locally (used) via craigslist or local aquarium club. (yes, there are many aquarium clubs, either saltwater or freshwater and plenty of national clubs as well.



here, you can get a good condition 125 for 200 $ at the most.



that will buy you a lot of time. 6ft tanks are great, good swimming space. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com



past 125, prices go drastically up.



Glasscages.com can give you a pretty basic idea of what prices your looking at for new tanks.

You will most likely need to get an aquarium 8ft long custom made.



I looked on glasscages.com and found these prices:



Aquariums:



240 Gallon 96x24x25h $ 690 USD



300 Gallon 96x24x31h $ 987 USD



Stands:



24 "High $ 460 USD



30 "High $ 575 USD



Canopy:



$ 330 USD



So you'll be looking at paying anywhere from $ 1480 to $ 1892 if ordering from them. Your fish store can probably order a tank that size for you but expect to pay a bit more because they will add on a commission. Good Luck!

it will cost about $ 2,000 USD to make or buy a tank that size.

To make it you will need 1 "plexi or glass. Can't go taller than18" when your longer than 6 feet long and 2 feet tall. Better to make a cement tank with viewing windows. Look it up on you tube-how to make a big fish tank.

Here's some fish tanks you can browse. I believe the ones you are looking for are about 1/3 of the way down the page.
