48 X 48 X 24 in wall advise

[QueensRob]

Hey all. I am considering an upgrade and wanted to know how do I go about getting a 48 x48 24 deep tank. I want to make a shallow but wide reef. Let me know what u guys think.

deep blue has a 160g shallow. 48"x 48" x 16"

Custom make it. Since it is in wall and presumably only one side glass you could do it out of wood except the front panel.

 

[QueensRob]

Hmm all good suggestions. Not sure about the wood idea though.

Price of custom tank that size could be pretty high. Marine land has few nice dd tanks that are 36" deep. The 300 is a sweet tank at 72x36. Are you set on the dimensions you listed? If not marine land could be good, non custom optuon

Max Reefs can custom build an acrylic tank for you with those dimensions... I'm about to order a new tank from them, probably 72"x42"x24"h

Rob, go speak with ReefoMan on the boards, his name is Mark. He is a custom tank builder, a perfectionist as i and everyone else would call him . His work is A++ and top notch. ill Speak to him as well for you. LMK shoot me a call or something later.

The size is based on the largest tank I can get into my basement.

 

[Rob&Gab]

if i were you i would do 48x48x20 or 22H with a wrap around euro Brace. Thats if you want a semi Shallow.

Thanks Rob just getting ideas at the moment.
