I have a turtle aquarium that's is positioned in a specific built-in nook therefor I'm limited on how long it can be. 30" is the limit. My current tank is a tall configuration 30"(L) x 22" (T) x 12" (W) ... however it just sprung a leak and needs replacement.
Do to the turtle's size and my space restrictions, if it is at all possible and within reasonable cost, ideally I'd like to replace it with a tank a little wider: about 16"-18" so as to increase the water volume by another 33% and to provide a little more space for him to swim. I've never seen this as a standard format.
Alternatively, what would a custom tank in this size sell for? I imagine it would be prohibitively expensive, unless I could order the glass and fabricate it myself (perhaps with a glass top framing piece as it's doubtful a plastic frame is sold in 30" x 16" size).
Thanks a bunch for any ideas.
