Daniel Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I am going to have a new tank made with dimensions 1400x560x560mm which can be made in 8mm glass all round. Unfortunately Xtreme don't use 8mm glass and consequently would have to do this tank in 10mm glass, which is a pity. Can someone recommend to me a quality tank maker around Sydney (who delivers) and even more importantly a source for a very nice cabinet (heritage, elite etc). Price is not so important as I am after quality. many thanks Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I've heard that recently the maker of most glass tanks has sold his business to another person. The price on tanks have gone up as a consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tykita Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 gday daniel i would be going with one of waynes tanks if its quality and not price you are after. i believe he builds from 10 mm for a reason(which could only mean quality).he has built plenty of tanks for me and always goes for the cautious side.never ever had a problem(except self inflicted problems as he already knows ) regards chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks Wayne, Chris, I know Wayne builds quality tanks and seems to err on the cautious side. I would have liked Xtreme to build my tank actually, but I would prefer 8mm glass (with adequate bracing etc) for this tank. With 10mm glass, I would be taking the height (and also depth for that matter) to 650mm to get more out of 10mm glass. I am currently considering this alternative and will get in touch with Xtreme should I take this path. Its just that I will likely be moving in a year or so and 8mm glass is substantially easier to transport. cheers, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrdog Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I know you've already stated your case but I just wanted to tell you that Wayne at Xtreme built a ripper tank for me too. Good luck with it, Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
