Any Aquarium Experts around???

[AAP]

I am looking for a particular type of aquarium. It is a round cylinder style. About 3-4 feet long and about 8-9 inches high.

I have seen one in a design magazine. You hang it on the wall lenghtwise. Very nice and stylish. Unfortunately the magazine offered no info on where to get it. I checked some shops here in FTL. Any ideas?

Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Magazine might have and ad for one.

Maybe you could email them about it. I have never seen anything like that, but sounds cool.

Bye the way, I am restocking my 200 gal reef after the newyears incident.

Now that i'm thinking about it, the one you saw was most likely a custom acrylic piece that would be damn expensive.

Yes, Custom also IMO.. Not mass produced

Usually, anything other than Hex, Octagon or Rectangle are usually Custom made and will be in the Thousands....

It was a beauty. The magazine had it attached to the wall over the buffet table in the dining room. It was long and cylinder, two black "caps" on each end where the pumps were located. On the back of the cylinder where you attached it to the walls, it has a long soft wattage light attached to the back.

Check out this site:

They've got something very similar to what you're talking about. No prices listed on the site though.

Actually, if you look at the one laying down in the pic:

and imagine it attached to the wall above a fireplace or something. You can imagine what I am thinking.

The one I saw, had three clear dividers carefully inserted into it, (you could not see them) and they had those Japanese fighting goldfish in them. You can't mix two males with one another, but the way this was, it looked like you had four in the same aquarium

You might want to PM "theonecrumcake." He's big into that stuff and he knows an online forum like elitefitness that is aquarium based. Good luck.

couldnt you get a glass shop to make you one? I think you could make a sweet one yourself and save tons of money. I am getting a new tank soon, my bluegill is too big for his current one.
