Custom Made Tanks

[michaelh]

Hi guys. Just wondered if anybody could suggest a place that makes custom tanks and delivers both for a reasonable price. I have a nice place in my dining 8'x2'x2' completly empty... What better to put there hey? Lol.
Local glass place K&B not only charge an absolut fortune but wont go bigger than 1220mm. Im in essex if that makes any difference.
So what/where have you guys used? And would they do such a size tank?
Cheers in advance.

Ask that bloke on ebay. ND are pricey, but about the same as other aquarium makers i believe.

Was going to say the same! Why did i not know custom tanks are cheaper than a LFS?!! You could just about get youself a 4ft with a nice stand for that and my local.

Am i the only idiot that didnt know this?!
