Fiberglass tank question

[Alex T.]

Does anybody out there know where public aquariums might purchase their fiberglass tanks with acrylic viewing panels?

I've got something big brewin'.

I've never understood why people are so crazy about all acrylic tanks, especially when most of time all 4 windows aren't being viewed through. I'm assuming you're interested in a custom tank? The best and only company I know of is:

Their tanks are used by many public aquariums. What'd you got in mind?

Most ppl on here build plywood tanks and coat them with fiberglass or epoxy sometimes both. Do a search for plywood builds it should give you some sort of idea as to what your up against as far as construction goes.

how about fiber glass?
im have a 27" x 71" x 36" tank..
tempered on the front and back window of the tank..
will they survive the pressure or you think its gonna explode?

Water Dog is the industry standard, but you really pay for it. Our small tank prices from them were very high (glad I wasn't paying for them).
