I'm attempting to build an aquarium of 200 gallon but I don't know how much money it will cost

Im not very thrifty so ive got 2400$ into mine already. 2500 including my 5 fish.
Stand, 2 cf500uv canisters, heater, 200lbs of crushed coral, led lighting, 250 lbs of lace rock and 2 overflow kits

No...the ph was too high for him. Had to relocate.

Actually 72 inches (6 feet) Long X 24 inches (2 feet) wide =12 square feet ( on the bottom )
So if you X that by 27 inches (2.25 feet) it is 27 quick feet of volume

Heres my tank with rocks in it. Good luck seeing my tiny fish.

What about walls and the small sides is that included cause 27 square foot is very affordable

 

[jonathan85365]

Correction it's like 350 it's on the high end of what I'm looking to spend but it's worth every penny

 

[90galWavefront]

That is quick feet
Volume
1 foot wide / 1 foot deep / 1 foot high = 1 quick foot

 

[jonathan85365]

So it's around that could you find the real square foot of my dimensions I want a long 200 because my turtle

 

[90galWavefront]

To build a tank that size would take 48 square feet of glass

 

[jonathan85365]

**** exactly what I came up with while were on the subject thickness of glass for a tank like that

 

[90galWavefront]

Give me a couple minutes and I will post it back here

 

[90galWavefront]

Are you buying or building it

 

[jonathan85365]

Building it unless you find a good price

 

[90galWavefront]

So for a full 200 gallons you need 72.5 X 24.5 X 27.5 inches
