Hi folks,

I must admitted I had already gone crazy and I want more, i mean crazy over another new difficult challenging project.This time will be a little taller and deeper about 4ft to 5ft tall.

I'd been begging my Queen for months and finally got my Queen's approval to construct another monster one to squeeze in my living hall, But how am i going to hunt this monster tank? I certainly hope this tank will be as cheap as my the other monster tank, the USD107 6ft long tank?

I give myself 1-2 months to hunt or purchase for this tank, hopefully this new project will soon complete within 3 months from now.

Attached the upload my new design of 4 or 5ft tall x 3ft length x 2ft wide tank

Hi Beck,

My proposed 4 to 5ft tall tank with sliding doors going to be customise made and the glassmaker has quoted me USD360 with free delivery. so expensive! and its more expensive than my 6ft palu tank!

I seriously going to bargain up to USD100 tomorrow, I'm going to see the boss to give me a better deal.

Can I ask you how much to customise built tank like mine in US?

[beckdg]

the glass alone in my area would be close to that price as far as i know.

Hi Beck

wish me luck... hopefully if i can get below USD100 , I'll be the happiest man on earth!

[beckdg]

good luck.

Hi folks,

Beck's blessing for me has come true! Good luck is shining on me!!!!

I'm in the midst of getting 3ft long x 2 ft width x 4 ft height tank within this week... sorry folks, i'm not getting 5-6ft tall tank due to my tank stand is about 2.5 ft high together with 5 or 6ft tank will be 8.5ft will touching the ceiling and i have to be realistic .

I getting the new glass panels for USD80 tomorrow and I'll personally DIY this tank myself.

I 'll upload more step by step DIY pictures till my paludarium tank fully complete together with all the fauna and flora.

So stay tune..folks!

Well done, Eddy- what thickness did you go with for the glass?

[eddyplaner]

Hi Epiphile

I'm going for 8mm thick for big panel of glass and the glass top lid whereas the 2 sliding doors will be 6mm thick.

Is that ok?

[beckdg]

sounds good for smaller critters and a low water line. sweet deal too. is that rough cut glass prices or with a smoothed edge?
