Q: I would like to have a custom tank built, How do i calculate gallons?
A: The basic formula for finding gallons of a rectangle is  L x W x H / 231 (Length x Width x Height  divided by 231) once you have that number you should deduct 10%  and that is what would be called “usable gallons” you should always figure your tank size at usable gallons.
 
Q: How Long will it take to build my tank?
A: Under most circumstances our production times are 7-10 business days for fabrication however, this is always subject to our current work load. You can see our current lead times on the request quote page. Complex projects may take longer.
 
Q: Is a custom tank expensive?
A: Depends, the word “Custom” does not always mean thousands of dollars. Your price will depend on a few different factors like size and complexity. Gallons of the tank do not play a huge role in the price since there are many different configurations to get a specified amount. I think that you will find that our prices are reasonable for the quality we produce and flexible services we provide. I would suggest spending a few minutes preparing a clear sketch or drawing of the tank you would like to have built upload it using the “Request Quote” form. Alternately if you are simply looking for a ballpark price you can use our Ball Park Pricing Form Here
