Hi everyone, I've been out of the hobby for a while but I am once again contemplating a return. My last tank was a rimless 3x3 cube and I would like to continue on that path if possible. A 4 foot by 4 foot cube would be ideal. After looking at my options, looks like I don't see any good glass tanks for sale drilled the way I want it drilled with a center overflow. So, I'm thinking about making one. Does anyone know of a good source of glass in the valley? My dimensions would be as follows:
Four sheets of 48" x 18" 3/4" glass preferably low iron
One sheet of 48" x 49.5" 3/4" or 1/2" glass
The overall dimensions will be 48" x 48" x 18"
I called around some of the local glass shops and have gotten some quotes but need to know if anyone has suggestions on a well priced source of sheet glass.
Thanks
