Where to buy large frag tanks

[Aquatic Bobs]

Hey guys I'm looking to buy some larger frag tanks and I'm wondering if any of you knows a good place that has some or can possibly build some for the best price? I'm talking frag tanks at least 4 ft long, any help here would be much appreciated I live in Minnesota so most likely would need to have them shipped as well

The ZooMed lowboy frag tank is a great option in that size, can be ordered or picked up locally most places.

Depending on if you want glass or Acrylic. Glass Cages does reasonably priced custom glass they make any size you’d like. @Joe Glass Cages

not sure who does Acrylic off the top of my head

I can't find any place that is willing to ship them though

When I was looking, I had to ask around to lfs. A few in my area could order them in.

I picked up a Zoomed lowboy at an LFS. They’re inexpensive but the glass is thin. I decided to sell the lowboy because of the thin glass. Advanced acrylics has frag tanks and they ship, but they’re more expensive. I don’t have experience with them.

Joe@Glass Cages could give you a phone / email consult and build according to your precise design and needs; up to a 6’ tank could be delivered by a gate lift truck right to your driveway.

A local reefer has an older glass cages frag tank and it’s solid - thick glass and thick silicone.

Agreed. This is an old-school Glass Cages frag tank... of course they have come a long way in the past 15 years or so when this tank was probably built... that I actually ran a a 10” deep display tank. Lol.

Do people use fiberglass troughs still? They had to be supported more, but I always thought they worked really well and were cheap.

I think they've moved over to hydroponic ebb/flow tables. The plastic is thicker and really doesn't need additional support. They are only 8" deep though in the 4' models.
