Anyone know of 48 x 20 x 20 tanks?

[xxoczukxx]

I am looking for a specific dimension tank, preferably reef ready and rimless.

The closest I have found are seapora 75g coming in at 48x18x20 and waterbox's Marine X 110.4 coming in at 47.2 x 19.7 x 21.7. My third option, would be a glasscages tank. I have heard good things about them, but the tank at 48x18x21 would come out to about $800 if I add the overflow. More for black silicone, and it would weigh 165 lbs. If I wanted a 48x20x20 like originally, the weight goes up to 315 pounds for some reason? Which is a heck of a lot and idk how id carry it into my house. It would also up the price to $1150 for the tank. This is just regular glass, no low iron or anything either otherwise it would add roughly $200-$300 more.

I would do the waterbox, but I doubt they would sell just the tank alone and I do not need a sump as I had recently bought a trigger sump for my setup and I planned to just replace the tank itself and reuse the sump, some of the plumbing, and the pumps.

Does anyone have any recommendations on tanks roughly these dimensions? Any brands I missed that might be good?

What about IM? They don't come with sumps and they also sell tank only.

The weight difference has to do with glass thickness. If you pick a Braced aquarium from glass cages it will be lighter.

Well Im using their calculator and really just swapping between 48x20x20 and 48x18x21. Would the extra width inches and less height really require that much heavier glass?

I did email them so I guess I will await a response or give them a call monday to get more info

Not exact size you asked for but Elos 120 is 120x57x50h

Hi @xxoczukxx

Thanks so much for the consideration! really appreciated.

Got your email too. We are closed over the weekend. Silas will get your a reply on Monday. Hope thats ok.

Great questions.... 48 x 18 x 21 Tall Glass Rimless vs 48 x 20 x 20 Tall Glass Rimless. two things going on here, glass yield and glass thickness.

So for a 48 x 18 x 21 tall, we would build this with 1/2" thick bottom and 1/2" thick walls. If you go over the 21" tall, we would build with all 3/4" FYI.

now for the 48 x 20 x 20 Tall. Our spec calls fro 3/4" for the bottom and sides. That 2" extra in width is just enough to change the thickness for our specifications. Also, we measure the yield of glass by the 6" and 12". So a 48 x 24 x 20 Tall would be the same prices as the 48 x 20 x 20 tall that you selected. Both of these items contribute to the price difference you have experienced.

Hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't.

We are here to help. honored for the consideration.

SC Aquariums sure does make some gorgeous tanks. Great mention.

I have a 50g starfire cube from them. Cant complain about the product @ all. Bought it second hand from a fellow reefer 4+ years ago, its probably 8-9 years old now from what I recall. Only thing I hate imho is that any scratches show up something fierce with low iron glass.

ADA 120P is 48”x19.7”x19.7

Unfortunately it is not a reef ready and I would rather not task myself with drilling a $1000 tank haha

You could use a VIV glass overflow. Or ADA Lily inlet and outlet. Not typical “reef” stuff, but quite aesthetically pleasing and IMO better. I am using lily inlet and outlets on my build. I understand not wanting to drill lol. Just some ideas.

Hello. I have a 4 foot long 91 gallon from RedSea. It comes with the plumbing and sump. Comes with all needed to set up: AI Prime LED light and tank mounting arm, Sicce Syncra SDC return pump 3.0, (both items app ready) 150lbs of live rock, protein skimmer body and cup, heater, wavemaker, Tank cover, and 2 boxes of brand new unopened supplies I never got to use. Are you interested?

Go with Custom Aquariums. I bought a 240 black silicone delivered to my house for 2,000. Perfect condition.
