I am wanting to go from plastic tanks to glass tanks...WITHOUT having to mortage the farm!;)
I'm not interested in any fancy designs or decorative glass, just a plain ole, plain ole glass tank, like this one.....

in glass.

Do any of you make them?
Or, can you point me in the right direction as to where to get parts??
I'm thinking I'd probably like to have the end caps made with delrin. Or better yet, the combo end cap and drip tip in one piece. I need tanks to fit a regular single coil carto.

Thanks for any help or suggestions you might have!

Well, you can get Pyrex tubing from places like this: http://www.greatglas.com/PyrexCylinders.htm?gclid=CJzY1bLjza8CFQhN4AodIBwAaw

From what I've seen, you can break off pieces by either scratching the surface with a dremel or heating it, then snapping the tube and it breaks off clean. For caps you can look at vinyl or delrin grommets from amazon or elsewhere. Not sure beyond that, but good luck!
