2 1/2 Gallon Display Tanks

[DavidZ]

I'm ordering frames to assemble 2 1/2 gallon display tanks if anyone is interested. I havent got the quote on glass yet, but I'm guessing it's about 6-7 bucks. The frames are $4 a pair if anyone is interested. They are nice 1 piece frames with the inner lip for a top.

I'll be ordering late next week after I get confirmation of the glass price so let me know ASAP.

Here's a picture of them. If we can get enough of them spoken for, we can get them a lot cheaper. But I think we need like 150 (75 tanks) to be spoken for.



Shipping is pretty expensive too. I looking at getting 30 or so (15 tanks) and shipping was like $30.

I'll post the glass prices as soon as I get them, probably Tuesday.

where does 1 order frames like that?

I'm looking at: http://www.aquariumframeswholesale.com/frames

I have a business license so I can get the wholesale prices, but you have to order alot of them depending on the sizes.

What size glass is needed? I often go to the local ACE or the glass store and buy ends they have left over. Usually the price is very good??? They often have stuff up to 8 or 9 inches. I can cut my own when necessary but some times they'll do it for nothing??? Good luck. Seems cool.

The frames are 6X12, but i would think you could make them as tell as you wanted.

I got a quote for the glass, and with the frames and everyting, the tanks will end up being about $14.58 each.

Some assembly required.

Here's the breakdown:

	Need	Each	Total (w/shipping and/or tax)
Frames	2	1.50	5.00 (shipping is about $1 ea.)
Bottom	1	1.75	1.87
Side 1	2	2.35	5.03
Side 2	2	1.25	2.68
Total			14.58

These retail for about $20 from what I've found, so this isn't a bad deal. Was hoping it would be a lttle cheaper, but it's not bad.

I'm ordering my frames and glass on Friday, so if you are interested in any I need to know by then.

Thanks.
