What commonly available 8ft 300+ gallon tanks are out there?

[davidinga]

I'm considering jumping up to an 8ft tank build and was wondering which 8ft tanks are available out there? Who makes what these days (prefer a glass tank)? Anyone make something like a 96x30x30 glass tank?


Thanks :up:

I suppose at 8ft I should at least consider acrylic...Right?

Talk with any of the sponsors. Marine land is doing their sale right now

I guess I was wondering what common sizes are out there more than anything

 

[enderg60]

standard 300g size is 96L x 24W x 30H

They are around but not as common as 180's or 210's, especially now that the marineland DD tanks are here.

In most cases you will be doing a custom build at a length of 8 feet.

That's what I was afraid of...

I see that glass cages makes one but that's like playing Russian roulette I would imagine...

They have a commercial version that uses 3/4" glass:
390 C 2.5 96 x 31 ½ x 30 ½ $2080


Not sure I'm that brave though...

I have a Glass Cages 100 cube that I have had in operation for 5 years now, and never an issue. The tank is over built if anything. Can't comment on their larger tanks, however.
