Built by whom?

my custom tank was 450 plus shipping From Envision, i bet he could have something really nice for $1500 in the 180-200G range and use the other 500 for shipping. freight for my tank was $350.

i have priced out a 84x36x30 custom tank with starfire front, overflows, bulkheads. They quoted me 2800.00 plus shipping.

from who tolo?

If its well made by a quality manufacturer, $2800 for a 400g tank really isn't that bad.

Hey Sean, if you are willing to go the glasscages route, they have a 72 x 36 x 25 (280gal) for $990. However, with upgrades and shipping, you would probably only save a few hundred. Not sure if its worth it.
