BTW: If you can't find a good one in the midwest.....
If I recall correctly, people on this board were sayin' good things about Envision: ( http://www.envisionacrylics.com/ )
Also, DJ's 600gal tank is built by Tenecor ( http://www.tenecor.com/?gclid=CJ341vGXlIwCFQUQFQodjllKhw ) and it is the second 500+gal acrylic tank that I've seen by that company and the craftsmanship appears to be very good (3/4" sides and 1" top). But once again, they aren't in the Midwest

Oh no, it's finally time to replace it? I remember visiting when you were TOTM and you pointed out the bowing and mentioned the time would be coming for a replacement.
If you are looking for something in the Midwest, Clarity Plus can build you a custom tank with the 3/4" acrylic that you really need along with the top the same thickness. I had gotten a quote on that same tank last fall. There's another really good builder, but he's not in the Midwest.

hansfrans: Funny, very funny. you will be the first one I'll call to bring the mop! :lol:
Thansk for the info.
Sara: Yes I think I have waited one year too long. It is already cracking at the seams.
In general I would say that the manufacturing quality of Clarity Plus I have now was very good otherwise it would have not lasted this long with only 1/2" panels on the sides and 7/16" panel on top. It just was not manufactured with the right thickness.

Jose: this is scary. You can see the seams going? How fast do you need it?
I would contact Dave at Oceans Floor and see who made his tanks. Also, go to www.theimac.net and see who the vendors are there this year. If there is a tank mfr, maybe you can get lucky and have something fast.
Also, call Jeremy at PA ... IIRC he knew someone in Indy or Michigan who he liked.

I'm going w/ James at Envision his price was very good for what I'm gettting. His price w/ shipping was the same as the other quotes w/o shipping. I checked out a local tank and his work was flawless! I couldn't find one bubble in any seam.
I definitely wouldn't go w/ Clarity Plus, just for the fact that the dealer PM'ed me and bashed his competition instead of promoting his own product. Not a very good buisness practice in my book.
Another midwest guy is Spazz out of the Twin Cities. He's building my skimmer. He builds a skimmer called the Volcano it's a Dart needlewheel skimmer. My skimmer demensions will be 18" diameter and 4' tall. He also does tanks and I hear he does a stellar job. I have a friend up there who's opening a LFS and is having some work done by Spazz. Here's his website: www.aquaticacrylics.com
Good luck!

Definitely who I recommend.
You can stop by and see my tank anytime Jose. James does an awesome job and his customer service is along the lines of Roger Vitko.
