it isn't cheap but I like the versatility of a breeder style tank that is much larger than 40 or 50 gals

I have a 40 gallon glass breeder tank for my turt but I'm looking for a bigger tank. I would like to find a tank that has the same width. I'm checking out local tank builders, many of them have made custom tanks for clients that decided they wanted something bigger and sell these tanks at cost or less.

There flake plants, I don't trust the live aquatic plants down here. I looked into having a tank built in the states but they were far to expensive for my taste, but I met a fellow here that could build a 200gal breeder tank. So, for my next tank I will try and build my own. This current tank actually cracked once, when it had 3/8" glass, now it has 1/2" glass. It's held more water for about four months, with no cracks or leaks.

glass 65 gallons of water held in this thing. what i hate about this tank.... is that it just gets very dusty and attracts spiders and whats funny is that a spider went so close in the tank and it got eaten 0.0. it was brown and small but oh well.. i hate those cobwebs... other than that i love it
