theirs a lot of other places in the bay that do custom acrylic tanks...
I just posted pictures (my first time) in my gallery. Can't figure how to resize the picture. As for cost, my wife bought it for me for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary/Father Day gift that will cover the next x years. I don't really have a breakout since it was a package deal. Sorry for the lack of $

If you want good customer service & follow-up on a krittertanks, get it through Steve at:
Lucky Ocean Aquarium
Balboa & 2nd Ave
San Francisco CA
415 668 3676
He'll make sure everything is right on your custom tank. 2 of the 3 tanks I owned are made by krittertanks and I purchased through Cesar at:
H2O Habitats
San Francisco CA
415 215 0089
Cesar is one of my aquarium technicians and he would do great in getting you what you want as well.
Krittertanks do not take orders directly, you must go through one of the authorized dealers. My retangular reef ready tanks were made exactly to my specs. The normally sharp edge front corners on a large tank were rounded out. My smaller tank has the rounded front corners. The top edges were sanded and flame polished. The lid opennings were router out smooth and flame polished as well. Tank cost itself wasn't much different than a TruVu tank, but the custom work is so much more reasonable than what TruVu would charge. They can make whatever you want, no project is too small if you go through one of the dealers.
Expect a minimum of 3 weeks turnaround time depending on how many jobs they has lined up. BTW, they are located in San Carlos.

Thanks for the information!
I was wondering if you could post pictures of the rounded corners and those sand/flame polished edges. That would be awesome.
I already have a CAD design with holes etc. for my 30" tank, I'll just be increasing the length to 36". Perhaps Cesar could double check everything again too =)
I'll make the calls tomorrow. and if you could post detailed pix of the handy work, that'd be really cool.
thanks again

The more detail the design, the easier it is for them to calculate a quote for you. I can take some photos next week for you as I'm out of town right now and won't be back until Monday. I'm not sure if those features will show up on a photo.
Since you're doing a 36"L tank, the rounded corners is same like TruVu. But if you want something different, you just need to request it. As for the top edge, I believe that most tank fabricators will flame polish after they cut. Krittertanks sands down the edge first, then they flame polish, so a much nicer finish. The do this on all their tanks.
