Found some in China but for shipping I think it'd be more economical to do a ply/fibreglass build.
Thanks, Kieran

I've sent off a fair few emails a few days ago but no reply so far.
They look like decent tanks, I think most sizes are about 6x3x3 and 8x4x4.
Would be awesome if a few people got interested and we could get a container over if the price is right!
Kieran.

Computerlog put me onto these. $2200 for shipping apparently.
They do look great though.

You could also buy one of there free standing cattle drinking tubs (up to 5000 litres) and fit a perspex window into it...
all the best crew,

Yeah alot cheaper! Got a quote of $950 for fibre glassing plus gel coat. So looking at probably about $1500 complete with stand and enough new K1 media to add to my filtration.
So roughly $3000 cheaper and its still an 1800LTR tank.
Let ya know if it holds water

Did alot of research before i started building a bigger TB tank. I found no one who has shipped one of these to Aus succsefully. With the tight TB community "maybe not tight" but the decent humans, I would think we would all have 3000+LTR tanks if it were this easy........

Cost of freight and the taxes etc, well outweight the intial product cost and make it ridiculous.
However if this was viable and was to go through, im in.

No good saying count me in and waiting for someone else to do all the hard work for you.
Look into it, it really isn't all that difficult.
