I currently have a 90g AGA but am looking to upgrade to a 240g tank. I would like starfire glass. The tank dimensions i'm looking for is 96L X 24H X 24W. Is this a standard tank anywhere or would it be a custom order? Any recommendations for tank selection would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm wondering the same thing in the 200-400 gal range. Are there any shops in the CT/MA area that custom build??

Glasscages can do a tank in low iron glass, kinda like a generic starphire glass. They do shows around the country and you can check to see if they come to your area and pick it up at the show cheap. Cost me $80 to pick it up at the show, they are in Raleigh NC but not until 5/5/07. I like my tank from them its 8'x2'x2' and only cost me $800 with 3 overflows and six holes drilled. It saved me enough to get a H&S A200-3xF2001 skimmer.

Aquariums for You in New Jersey made my 180 Starfire, and I am very happy with it. They custom build stands and tanks.

Those dimensions are standard.

I like my GC tank. Can't beat the price.
