Besides Glasscages who builds large glass tanks 10 foot plus

Miracles and A.G.E. are two I'd recommend for glass aquariums. For the many reasons mrx listed I went with Acrylic on my 600 gallon (96"X48"X30").
 
130x25x30 422g is 900lbs 3/4" glass before bracing. 25" deep is narrow for such a long tank.

I'd prefer a wider tank... 108x36x30 505g 486lbs with 3/4" acrylic.
 
Glass cages 130x18x20
I wanted a long nano, perfect for me for a number of reasons, maintenance, huge but not HUGE, dig it. This is my 5th GC tank, I've built tanks using their glass as well, always had good experience with them, as noted I have had to do some touch cosmetic work ref: silicone. let me know if you have any questions. btw they said they could do longer than 130" but I couldn't fit it in my house or I would have.

Cbechdel -> yikes, what size was your tank?

7' x 2' x 2' peninsula style. I got lucky in that the wall between display tank and overflow chamber held, and it was the corner in the overflow that split, perfectly cleanly - it didn't break the acrylic fused seam, its as if the glue was never there.
 
Interesting thread I had similar problems wiht getting vendors to reply I sent out about 7 and only 2 have replied so far, very frustrating. I'm not going as big but was looking for quotes on a 6-8' 300g tank. About to just get the marineland deep dimension to make it easier on myself.
 
I went with AGE. Hybrid tank with starphire glass and PVC bottom. Euro brace made from stainless steel. It is well build and solid. Expensive but worth it in my view. Good luck.
