Wow, looks like you have the right tools. Have any Starphire laying around?

I can get it. It costs me $8.00 a square foot with a 3' minumum for 1/4". Would sell it for $9.00 a square foot plus shipping if you tell me the sizes you need ;)

 

I do a pretty good acrylic job too.....

What does regular glass cost you?

 

Do 3 sides and the bottom in glass, and the front in starphire...

 

Looking for a 36w 12d 16h 30gallon..... :)

BSDameon: That would cost you about $80.00 plus shipping and box fee. I am not sure of the shipping and box fee, but I am looking for you.

 

1/4" clear glass = $3.50 sq. ft.

1/4" low iron = $9.00 sq. ft.

 

Where are you located and I can price shipping to you ;)

Before you ask why that silicone is white, its a 100% high modulous silicone that goes on white and dries clear. Same ingredients as AGA's aquarium seal.

I recently decided to explore the DIY approach to Aquariums and had mentioned it on RC. They said that you are the guy to talk to!

I just realized I forgot to mention the thickness. 1/4" if it will work for the tank height I am after. If that isn't sufficient thickness let me know what prices would work for the 3/8" or 1/2" sheets. Thanks!
