how much would this custom cube cost


I would like to have this done this in glass with the center divider/overflow being black acrylic. Overall dimensions being 24x24x18(44gal). Would this be cheaper to do all in acrylic? How much would this cost to get made?

The second chamber will be a refugium and there would be a small sump underneath.

What do you guys think? Is there a tank out there thats already in this configuration?

Thanks!

is that like the jbj nanocube, I like my custom design because the refugium is much bigger, the dimensions of the refuge its 24x5x18 which is almost 9 gallons which is awsome, there will be approximatly 30 gal in the main tank, im stilll looking for a tank builder

Is it that easy? I dont really have any cutting tools besides a dremel and I live above a few people so I would be In quite a jam if I leaked 40 galllons of water onto their ceiling...I think I would rather have an expiereinced builder take think one on...

It's up to you mech, but if you enjoy DIY stuff, you could probably have the builder make all the cuts for you and then put it together yourself. :-)

and sketchup is a cool program, isn't it! :-)
