@Mark... I'm picking up my low boy from Major League Exotics tomorrow. 24x48x10 for just over $100 is hard to beat....

Damn, that is a great price. Does it have an overflow or do you need to drill it?

DangerDave · Jul 25, 2018

You have to drill it. I haven’t done that yet, so I hope I don’t make any $100 mistakes.

Just drilled a 40b and have an assortment of glass bits in Brick if either of you guys need to borrow.
If you order bits don't make the Mark_C rookie mistake - a 1" bulkhead will not fit through a hole drilled by a 1" bit, the bit needs to be 1 1/4" to 1 3/8" to accomodate bulkhead threads

They're great if you don't have water in them. Had a brand new one - bottom panel gave out a RAP. I had countless people come up to me and tell me the same thing happened to theirs. Some guy had 6 all give out.

That wasn’t a low boy, wasn’t that was a much nicer tank?

I guess I was so stunned by what I saw, I missed the frame on it...

DangerDave · Jul 26, 2018

So nuts. Well mine will be delivered soon. I’ll let you guys know how it works out.

@joetbs did that tank previously survive having water in it or was RAP the first fill?

@Mark... i was looking for that low boy pic above and stumbled on to the pets warehouse site. They have a few companies frag tanks there at fair prices, but you have to pick up. Looks like they have a bunch of NY locations. Might be worth the trip.

It was brand new. Wasn't even filled all the way when it gave. No rocks or anything hard in there either. The glass that fell out was still in one piece after it landed.

I thought they were originally made as reptile tanks, that people were using as frag tanks.

I think they were. They have a frag version too. I think the only difference is they do t include the screen top.

It was heart breaking seeing that at RAP.
