I agree. Look in the classifieds near the pet section for a couple weeks and you might find a great deal.

Pimp, that stuff is just regular epoxy for fiberglass. It dries clear, I was talking about epoxy paint, it comes in different colors and goes right on plywood to make it water proof. They usually use it in large aquariums..
But hey I found a 55 gal. with stand, canopy, filter for $100 in the want-ad digest. The guy lives in Saratoga NY. He is going to send me pictures hopefully on Sunday. :)

Well I'll have to pay a pretty penny for fuel since it's like 1-2 hours away but it's still a good deal.

For some reason I used to find expensive thick beveled glass table tops by the garbage, out by the street, etc. I've found about 5 of different shapes and thicknesses and they would be great for the front of the kind of tank you're thinking of. I haven't seen any in a while though.

The guy emailed me today and said someone came and picked it up last night. Bummer but oh well i'm gonna keep lookin.

Google "garf's 140 gallon reef tank construction". This guy makes tanks for relatively little money and gives the directions. All but the front is plywood.

I got the 90 gallon plans from garf's website. 140 is a little too big for me right now haha. Thanks though.
