like i said before on one of the above posts(near the original post) i said my luck on CL isn't good. i can't manage to find a 55g or above relitively cheap, or alone for that matter(just the tank and hood/light)

i've searched my yellow pages and called a few glass companies and it seems only one company near my location does custom glass cuts. only problem is they wont pick up so i'll have to drive down. if luck is on my side, they might be able to cut me some cylinders.

but if all goes wrong, i might actually just make my own tank. i have a 60 inch wide wall to work with, and i'd like to construct a tank about 222g, if not 151g. so i'm trying to figure out the height and length to acheive a 22 or 151g tank.
