nano-paul Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ok guys, I have thought about doing this for a while now. Here is some pricing for some basic tank building equipment. You dont have to buy it from me, but this is a good way to keep your local glass shops in check. If you are interested in any of this let me know and we will see what we can do. My distributor has facilities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland areas, Phoenix, Denver, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Seattle. This means that I can save you shipping by picking a Facility close to you. Pricing as follows......... BULKHEAD DRILL BITS (plus shipping) 1-1/8" - $44.85 1-1/2" - $54.73 1-3/4" - $67.80 3-1/4" - $109.40 5 or more the price goes down a little bit. Group buys are always welcome as long as I only have to ship to one address (I can sell you a drill press specially made for this for $800.00 ) These bits are not the cheap ones you see on Ebay. They will drill about 100 holes, then I can get them recoated for you and they will drill 100 more . Your local glass shop will probably charge you $15.00 to $25.00 a hole, so if you are drilling two or more, why not just buy one and do it yourself. You must use a drill press for these bits. SEALANTS AND ADHESIVES(Plus shipping) 10.3 oz. 100% clear silicone - $3.69 tube - $3.38 per tube if you buy a case (30) 10.3 oz. Clear aquarium silicone (no black) - $4.42 tube - $4.23 per tube if you buy a case (30) (also have in 50 gal. drums ) acrylic solvent w/ applicator (2 oz.) - $8.53 (better than weld-on IMO.) GLASS 1/4" clear glass - $3.83 sq. ft. 1/4" low iron glass - $9.26 sq. ft. (3 sq. ft. min.) 3/8" clear glass - $7.34 sq. ft. (3 sq. ft. min.) 3/8 low iron glass - Email me I will be glad to sell you glass if you dont mind the shipping cost. Am not sure what shipping would be, nor the box charge, but if I will find out if you would like. Anyone close can come pick it up if you like anytime or any day. I live close to my office. This is what the going rate for this stuff is going for. If you go to your local glass shop and they dont tell you something close to this, your getting ripped off. I also have acrylic and anything else you may need. Just let me know. I will also be glad to try to help you answer any questions you may have. Link to comment

The acrylic solvent is a comany called Craftics Plastik Acrylic Sovlent. Its a commercial grade solvent. 6 - pcs 12" x 12" will cost you $31.20 plus shipping. How do I compare to your local glass shop? Link to comment
danferd2002 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 compared to local glass shop you about 1/10th the price, but they are really high priced, there the only place in town. But compared to other online places, not bad, i got the same acrylic for $25 but it was all different sizes, and none of the pieces were actually 12" Link to comment

adinsxq Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 actually, this is a commercial post and belongs in the black hole of REMOVED THREADS! Link to comment
nano-paul Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 actually, this is a commercial post and belongs in the black hole of REMOVED THREADS! Oh come on. Its not a commercial thread, its something I do on the side. I just thought I would help my fellow reefers get a better deal. Surely you can appreciate that? I wont make any money at all hardly. That wasnt the purpose of this thread. The purpose is so people had a way to save some money on there supplies. But, i understand and want to play by the rules, so if you think it needs to be removed then I completely understand. Link to comment

nano-paul Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 One rod 3 ft long and 1/2" in diameter. 36" long 1/2" dia. rod - $88.65 + shipping. Link to comment
Gvtv44 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Wow... that is pretty expensive... I really don't have the money for that, thanks anyway for the price though... I hope someone else buys from you... Good Luck Link to comment

I hope someone else buys from you... Good Luck No problem. The reason is its so high is they make me buy a 6' piece, which I would cut for you. That means you would have 2 3' pieces. I dont know what your doing with it, but maybe you could get someone to buy the other piece? That would make it half the price. Link to comment
Gvtv44 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ok, I understand. I wanted to use them to join LR together- I'm not sure if I'm definintly going to use that method though. Thanks for the price though- if I do end up using them, I'll talk to you. Thanks. Link to comment

mvite Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thats cheap. At that price I would only make $0.15 I'm no economotician, but I don't think you can live on that kind of money. Link to comment

el_vulture619 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Why is low iron glass needed? Will the galss start to discolor from rust? Are all aquariums made from low-iron glass? Link to comment
nano-paul Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Why is low iron glass needed? Will the galss start to discolor from rust? Are all aquariums made from low-iron glass? Low-iron is not needed, but its an upgrade. All regular glass has a green tint. Low iron pretty much is clear. No it wont rust. Here is a pic. 3/8" regular on top, 3/8" low iron on bottom. See the difference? Link to comment

I may want to drive down there to talk to you about the tank I want to build. Would that be okay? K Link to comment
