u forgot to state tank glass thickness .. 12mm or 15mm or ... the diff. is alot .. (and SKimmer PUMP & RETURN PUMP & VALVES)

[Golden Tooth]

Lightings too.

[mun333]

Just items as above...

a 5 footer??? think will cost more than $3000 at least. My 2'cube tank with 1.5 cube sump setup already cost more than $1500 up to date....

[roadster]

Think the tank itself would have cost you ard $3000 for 15mm glass thickness all round. Plus chiller, skimmer lightings.........I will put it at about $10K to $13K easily.

BTW, just curious, is it necessary to go for 15mm glass thickness for 5x2.5x2.5 ? Of course thicker the better, but it will be really a bigh jump in cost between 12mm and 15mm. Imagine the weight the cabinet need to support.

Further, for thicker glass, I think unless yuo go for fire-glass-type material, you probably get distorted views if viewed from an angle ?

[roidan]

yeah..the amount would be none of the choices you provided...definitely more than $2000...

[Achilles Tang]

Fired up glass = tempered glass? Or are you talking about Starphire glass?

[AlfaRomeo]

My tank for 6 x 2.5 x 2.5 with 15mm glass including stand and 3 ft sump with all piping is $3k plus..

[bwilly]

[Golden Tooth]

Think it's without the LSs.
