[Mrpunkracing]

CASA DEL AQUA REEFING presents the 500 Gallon Custom Tank Build! HELP

SEE ATTACHED PICS

I am looking for recommendations of Custom Tank manufacturers of Rimless Glass and PVC/Acrylic Sumps..

Dimension of Main Display

96" (L) x 28" (D) x 30" (H) ( Low Lead GLASS)

Sumps

(2) 30" L x 24" D x 20" H (Acrylic/PVC)
(1) 24" L x 24" D x 20" H (Acrylic/PVC)

I had been struggling :headwalls: trying to find manufacturers not wanting to push me into an acrylic main display.

Any referrals would be appreciated.

LOCATION: San Clemente, CA

Well glass will be HEAVY - nice concept though.

 

[Mrpunkracing]

That's what cranes are for right!

I think you might mean "low iron" glass (?).

Yes. Low Iron

Go acrylic

There are plenty of glass aquarium manufactures but is it possible to go rimless on that large of a tank I've never seen one good luck.

 

[Bogue Chitto]

That looks like a mighty sophisticated setup. It should be a good system to work with.

ELOS is capable of building the rimless tank I want, but they are in Italy and im just checking to see if I am missing anyone in teh states.

Why are so many people adamant on Acrylic, take cost out of the equation and give me 3 good reasons?

1. Lighter, stronger, clearer
2. Scratches CAN be repaired
3. Safer in earthquake

Acrylic can't be built rimless that large without having a cost prohibitive thickness.

Any further suggestions on rimless glass manufactures in the states?
