NEW TANK. NANO Cube Maybe???

Hey guys and gals,

so I don't know how many of you who have seen my total loss thread.


But I've been deep into thought lately about starting up again, or just slowly getting all the stuff together to start maybe a year or so down the road. I know there's endless types of tanks, materials and what not out there.

But i'm just looking for a few pieces of advice as to where to start with what type of tank and brand to go with.

I'm thinking somewhere around 100 Gallons. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. so wherever i order it from needs to be able to ship or be close to here.

ANY IDEAS PEOPLE? anything helps!!!!

 

Well, what are you looking for? A tank, but is there anything specific you would like? Or at least a starting point for us?

 

ummm something thats NOT tempered glass!!! already had my nightmare with that.
i want something that is deep (from front to back) so i have lots of room for the rockscape. my old tank was only 12" and didnt have much play room with it. i'm not sure if i want glass or acrylic.

 

one more little thing. does anyone know a good aquatics store that ships to or within canada. preferably a canadian company?

 

i think i'd prefer acrylic? but i heard they scratch a lot easier? do they cost more than glass?

 

Acrylic is normally almost triple the price of glass. Plus yes, it does scratch much easier. I too am starting a new tank and am going with an 85 gallon. It's 48" long, 18" wide and 22" tall. I wanted to make sure that I had a little bit of depth to play with, but didn't want it too tall so I wouldn't have to go crazy with lighting.

I'm going to be getting my tank from great lakes aquarium. They do ship, but the order must be at least $300. Here is their website: GreatLakesAquariums.com - Saltwater Custom Reef Aquariums

Hope this helps!

 

Id go with a 120 24x24x48.

 

I ahve some guys here wo have been doing large cubes. one guy has a magnificant cube that is 36x24x16. offers great depth. It is 1/2" NON TEMPERED glass.

 

i was thinking something along the lines of:

either 36X24X30 or 48X24X24

more than likely the second one, a little shallower for lighting purposes.

 

Yea, I checked his tank. it is the 36x24x16. nice dimmensions. another guy here has a 48x24x16 from the same MFR.
