    You can customise that.

    But generally, the tank makers will charge you a much higher price than a standard tank size. This is due to the size of glass sheets which they have. For example, a 25cm-cube tank will cost the same or more expensive than a 30cm-cube tank. This is because, the 25cm-cube is made from the same 30cm sheet of glass. And the extra cost comes from the need to cut the glass to the shape required and then polishing the edges, which is extra manpower costs.

    For your 35cm, I am not sure how much it will cost you since it is abit of an "odd" size. Why not just get a standard 1ft-cube? Space constraints?

    Instead of custom make, you can try to measure to see if the 5-plan M or L size tanks can fit your needs or not. 5-plan tanks are those tanks with the distinctive black rims.

    Well, all hobbies need some form of "investment".

    No need to customise. My curved edge tank is 35 x 25 x 25 in cm which bought from Seaview.

    if you don't mind travelling to my house, i can spare you with one of the tanks. I think it fits your measurement.
