Custom built tanks locally. . .

[bruffin]

Does anyone have a custom built glass or acrylic tank through one of our local stores?

What size is it? How much did it cost? Where did you get it?

The one I'm planning on having built will be around 75 gal. It's made like a 65-gal with a few modifications.

Thanks

Anyone?

The only company that I'm aware of that is semi-local is www.glasscages.com . They are in Middle Tennessee, west of Nashville (I think.)

I know of a couple of people that have designed their own tank, and had a glass shop get them the pieces that they wanted.

Also, you can send a PM to williamrandel. He owns his own acrylic shop. His main profession is commercial sign building, but he has used his shop to make his own acrylic tank. Perhaps you could do business with him.

HTH,

Thanks. I've already checked out Glass Cages, though . . .

I originally started to order from them, but when I asked if I could have the glass on the bottom and sides made a little thicker than what they offer as standard - the guy was EXTREMELY rude to me . . . just for asking him a question!!??

It's for that and many other reasons that I don't order from Glass Cages.

Has anyone ordered a custom built tank through one of the Alabama LFS'?

Aquarium Imports in hoover orders his from a place in pascagoula,ms called Oceanview Aquariums, most of the information on the internet about them seems to be ok. I actually thought about getting one shipped to them custom built. Call them over there with the demensions and they can get you a qoute on what ever your looking for I am sure.

My old tank was from Oceanview. Loved it, and I'm sure you will.

I've got a 190 from Oceanview that I've used since 95 or 96, no problems.
