Acrylic tank manufactuers

[midknightskie]

Ok like the title implies I am looking to purchase a tank 96x24x30 300 gallon.
My current problem is that I have called several companies, all of which have ended with I will get back to you with a price. then i never hear back from them and I have even called them back to prod a cost out of them and still nothing. I want to know where people are getting their tanks from that have actually followed through.
Thanks for the help.

I didn't buy a tank from there (yet), but all of the reviews I could find were positive.

+1 for midwestcustomaquariums.com they did my 220 peninsula and plan on having them do a 60 quarter cylinder.

i decided on an zero edge aquarium, on a side note I called pimpedoutaquariums and when i gave my shipping location for a quote i was laughed at for a solid 7 secs, like I was retarded for even asking.

Please do not buy a 300 gallon zero edge aquarium. I guarantee that you will regret it.

Can you elaborate a bit further on this for the benefit of the OP and anyone else reading this thread.

the guys that do the tv show tanked are make those kind of tanks, they got good fish too.

Mmmm. What looks good in its first week of operation does not look so good when actual marine life gets into the picture, not to mention the problem of keeping fish in the tank. Zero edge is nice for swimming pools, not so much for fish tanks.

Maintenance is a nightmare, setup is a nightmare, keeping marine life (fish and snails) in the tank is a nightmare, creating the proper flow for a reef tank is a nightmare.

The effect when everything is clean and perfect is stunning, but it simply is not a sustainable effect.

A zeroedge 300 gallons for real. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm sure you guys are right about the edge series aquarium, but the do also build regular aquariums which is what I am getting a standard 96x24x30. Not something that has water flowing over the glass. Thanks for the heads up though.

I'll second a vote for James. Many moons ago I had him build a 450 for me. His work was outstanding and his communication through the whole process was excellent.
