Not sure how close they are, but fishtanksdirect.com
Apologies... although I would never consider a large glass tank, I’m pretty sure that they sold glass tanks a few years ago, when I ordered 200 and 500g acrylic tanks.
Cons: glass is very heavy, 2 of us brought in a 6'x5' 500g acrylic and placed in on the stand... I can maneuver my 500g on its stand, by myself... I can drill my own overflows and returns, should I decide to change the plumbing.
Scratches are forever on glass and coralline can "˜etch' low iron/starfire glass.
Pros: it's a lot cheaper to sand and buff out your old tank than buy a new one. I still have 3 120g tanks that are over 20 years old, and can look like new.
Acrylic is clearer and a better insulator.
Not sure how your tank was scratched, but most of them can be avoided. I use an acrylic sleeve on my magnet cleaner and sand is not a problem. Sanding them out can be done anytime on the outside or inside.
If you want glass, go for it, but unless you're getting a different size tank, I'd try wet sanding the scratches first.
Best of luck whatever you decide.

Yes sir!
I was able to find this number on their facebook page (800) 652-4918.
Laserjim,
Not sure if I'm helping or hurting here but I have a 10foot tank built by ReefSavvy. It took me a very long time to get but was worth the wait. You're right though, if you aren't getting return calls or messages there's only so much you can do.
