I know most of you are from the 'wrong' side of the pond,but, do you know where I can get a decent sized tank in the uk? 450 litres is as big as I can find and I don't like that tank haha

Do you have a maidenhead aquatics near you? My local store has some great looking tanks & good sizes

You might be better off purchasing large thick pieces of glass and building your own tank,I hear it's pretty expensive to get custom tanks built in the uk.

But you could check out this forum,it's based in the UK.they might be able to send you in the right direction for a pre-built.

Umm... You might also be able to order one online. I'm not sure though.

Yep always a possibility if you have anywhere from $80-$160 just lying around for shipping(depending on size)

Yeah...I think you'd have to do some serious net searching and look for people who already own them as opposed to getting one new. Unless you live near enough to London or another major city and can transport your new tank the distance.

By the way, what a match between Newcastle and Everton eh?

I currently live in London, seems do difficult to find the massive tanks you guys have!

Newcastle united really do ruin my life, against everyone we got battered but somehow didn't loose!!!

I was looking for a monster tank myself and explored the option of building one myself and am still considering it. The actual process of building a tank is actually remarkably simple (at least on paper!)

you should be able to find most of what you need to know there.
If you're building an absolute monster may be worth doubling up the base for extra safety and have been assured by a professional that providing you don't exceed 36 inches in height and you brace the top of the tank adequately you can use 10mm thick glass. Am tempted to build a 200gallon tank but think my wife may divorce me if I did!!
