Starphire Tank

[neverwouldof]

Anyone know of someone local in Orlando area that builds Starphire Tanks? Any help appreciated ! Keith

[keithntracy]

Try Ocean Blue. I think they sell them there.

ocean blue/aquaria studio has the oceanic tanks that come with 3 sides starphire

[cstires]

The oceanics don't come with all three sides starphire. There's a long thread going on in one of the forums discussing this. Tanks made up until a certain date where made with 3 sides Super Clear glass and after that point, only the front is Starphire. Granted a lot of people where told that, including myself. I even called Oceanic before I bought mine, and was told all 3 sides where starphire...

Just wanted to throw this out there so someone knows what there getting if there interested in one...

[AngGenova23]

weird, even the tec tanks?

[neverwouldof]

yes it is true, i have the 45 techand it is only front panel starphire. I bought right when they came out about a year ago.

<--- has a oceanic 4 sided starphire tank, even the overflow is starphire :D:D :smokin: but mine is custom built.

There used to be a company down in Ft. Lauderdale that made custom starphire tanks to your specs. I don't remember the name, perhaps doing a search might come up with it. There was a company in Canada that was doing custom starphire tanks as well. Im sure a search would come up with there name as well.

have received some silly quotes so far... lets see... honda civic or 400 gallon starphire....

best pricing seems to be glasscages.com

[InLimbo87]

Don't mess with glasscages.com. They're cheap for a reason. They have awful customer service, and their work is very sloppy. Not worth the risk IMO.

A guy in Miami built my 345. 96 x 30 x 30. Front is starfire with overflow box along the whole length and built like a tank. He's been making tanks for over 40 years. If I remember right it was around $2300. He's retired now and not sure if he'd be interested but I can contact him and ask. LMK.

I'm in Ormond and you're more than welcome to come down and have a look at mine if he decides he wants to do it and before you commit yourself.

You can try exotic aquariums. I think they are in Hollywood, Florida. They are building my tank and have a solid reputation.

[fasteddie7]

im pretty sure that oceanics new ultimate line is three sided starfire.....

[neverwouldof]

You can never find info on oceanic though. I have the 45 Tech with starphire and it is extremely well put together. Only 45 gallons but 1/2" glass all around... Too bad their marketing is beyond bad! Mr. Crab is trying to point me in right direction so we'll see.

I know of someone up in Chicago who had a 500 gal starphire tank (4 sided!) custom made by a company in Canada. He got a lot of quotes and he said this was the best buy and the delivery was not bad either. PM me and I can get you in touch with him if interested.

MrCrab... Where in Ormond are you?

[kamico]

Keith, what dimentions are you looking for, Im currently in the market too for a Starphire tank, and im looking in to a 72x36x30 337gal tank, and while im gettting quotes i can ask for one on your dimentions too... If you want. I live in Ormond Beach.
