Cost?

[JinnJuan]

Dudes out there, how much is the current market rate for a empty 4ft tank?

Hi Jinn,

If brand new,
Costs vary mainly on
thickness of glass (6/8/10/12)mm
type of glass, (crystal/normal)
Dimension of glass height and depth (<1ft , 1ft-1.5ft)

Many tank manufacturers that will give a quote based on your desired dimensions on the spot.

Lets say a 4x2x2 ? Normal glass of thickness 8mm ?

4 footer better to use at least 10mm thickness I think.

[JinnJuan]

How much will that usually cost?

4 x 2 x 2 is a large size IMO. You are looking at a price of around 500+ SGD, if it comes with cabinet etc. For customised tanks with special glass, brace etc, I have no idea.

Thanks for the info, but im actually looking for a plain tank without stand and stuff . Any idea how much?

4x1.5x1.5ft normal glass is around $250-$300, just did for my customer. So 4x2x2ft maybe around $400

for me, i cannot stand narrow tank. an ideal 4 footer should be 4X3X3 with 16mm clear glass.

Thanks alot for the suggestions guys ! But today went to mainland to enquire, it was $120 for a 4x1.5x1.5 tank. So i decided to purchase it !

[Jianyuan]

Mainland as in China or the name of some LFS?

Also take note that with or without brace, normal or minimum silicon as well as glass type will effect the pricing greatly.
