BettaBetta Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi there, AquaOne do a superb cube'ish' tank with rounded front corners & lids from around 8L up to about 30L. LPS should be cheaper than LFS. I got my 18L for $50 & an 8L for around $25 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Small cube tanks are really easy to build yourself if you can get a glass cutter and some old scrap glass (old louvre blades, old window panes, etc) and a tube of silicon. Ask a glazier if you can scrounge in their bins too - lots of scraps under 30cm square to be found like that too. Sandpaper or a diamond stone will take off the edges. Won't look as nice as the curved corner versions but you will be able to get a lot more tanks for the price of one commercial tank. (silicon some plastic trim to the corners to hide the glass edges and it looks pretty good). 17cmx17cmx17cm = 5L approx 20cmx20cmx20cm = 8L 25cmx25cmx25cm = 15L 30cmx30cmx30cm = 27L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbites Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The recycling shop at the local dump sells them cheaply here... also try recycled building supplies places.... neighbours who are renovating.... local builders might have spares or know where to get some .... put a 'wanted' ad on freecycle website for your location....

bewarebrunette Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 There's a bloke in Cairns that makes small cubes, he sells them for about $15 - not the best looking in the world, but they do the job. The pic i'm attaching are the cubes inside of a big tank of warm water - easier than setting up lots of little heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
