I wish to have a big setup for growing corals in the future. Anyone know a good place to get four, 8-feet tanks? I want to keep the cost as low as possible while also maximizing space. I’m in the Chicagoland area.
Glass Tanks - Good but highly expensive
Acrylic - Don’t want acrylic
Fiberglass - Lot cheaper than glass but cannot see into tank (from the side) which isn’t a huge issue.
Plastic- Lots more options but I don’t know if it’s strong enough but same opinion as with fiberglass. Also, not sure how easily I could drill a hole into it.
