I am looking into making a custom fish tank, but can’t find the glass I need anywhere for a fair price. Does anyone know of places I could get cheap aquarium glass?
When I looked at doing this (buying online) I worked out that I could not make a tank for the price they were being sold unless I was willing to buy a single sheet of glass and cut it and polish the edges myself. I wasn't - so my next tank will be bought.
Try to find the glass that has already been used if it is polished, it will be both new and cheaper. When I was a student I had no money on the aquarium for fish with my own hands and I was looking for similar alternatives. Text me if you would like to know more.
In New Zealand we just go to a glazier and ask for second hand glass. It costs them to dump it so their are happy to give it to you for for free. It is no problem getting 6mm glass this way.
