Where to get 3ft tank?

**diazman** · 10th Jul 2015, 21:27

Hi all, any ideas where I can acquire a 3ft tank? preferably 3x 1.5 x 1.5 ft in dimension.

Seaview would be your best bet... they always have standard 3 x 1.5 x 1.5 tanks available in stock, can buy off-the-shelf. You'll need 2 people to carry it though.

Do also check out their 3ft crystal glass tanks, not sure if they still have stock of those, but if you have abit more budget, the pricings on those sets are quite good and worth considering.

Hi,I got the tank with cabinet set that you wanted from Seaview in Oct 2014 for 400 bucks.They do sell but you must move fast if not it will be out of stock.There is a delivery charge of 50 bucks though.I am planning to get a 120x45x45 from there though.Found the tank yesterday noon at Seaview but no cabinet.The boss said stocks will be in soon but he dunno when it will be in.

I am trying walking around these few days and asking prices from Y618 and C328 though.Soon Heng might be cheap though but they gave me the price of $650 for the 120x45x45 tank with cabinet though.The guy rang me back and told me there is a set of 120x45x45 tank with cabinet special offer.Price is $420.

90x45x45 is commonly available as readily made, usually 6mm.
prices ranges around $80.
just ask around along C328 LFS.

I have a question.
Does anyone know whether 3ft rounded front tanks are available on the market?
I have an OceonFree 2ft rounded front tank, but it is too small. Have been hunting around for a 3ft one.

Yes of course but lesser sought after due to their rounded design....
normally made in China or Taiwan.
the bigger LFS, mainland, otf or Seaview should have.
but I personally don't like the distorted view created by the round edges.

I have been looking around the shops, but hardly see any. If it's made in Taiwan, I'll surely grab it.

Of course you won't see them display in their shop... you know how much space its going to take up displaying both curve tank and normal rectangular tank?
unless in the farm, plenty of space.
anyway, they have to order from their supplier, keeping stock incurs additional capital plus risk of damage (glass).
try asking……

Yes you are right on! Why didn't I think of that! ...

Thanks for your tip. I may pop in to Qian Hu to have a look later.
Hope I can find a tank measuring exactly 26" or 600cm wide or lesser.
