Local custom aquarium dealers

[ocd_mariner]

What are the local dealers that make custom aquariums?

Glasscages - Dickson
Ocea - somewhere in al


What else do we have (relatively) near us?

The only other one is in Florida where Rick had his tank made, Which is Reef Savvy and they are by far the best quality maker of the bunch. But they also cost a bit more too.

I just ordered one from Reef Savvy, will be picked up early June, probably the best custom tank builder in the country currently.

Deep Sea Aquatics (DSA) and Acrylic and Glass Exhibits (A.G.E.), both in TX do great work too. There are a few others Coast-to-Coast (NJ) and Miracles are a couple more I think.

How big is the tank you ordered? How much was the shipping quote?

 

[mapn4reef]

48x28x20 Shipping was approx $500, however approx $175 is the crate fee. Shipping fluctuates a lot though. What size tank are you interested in having built?

I bought my tank through Reef Savvy and couldn't recommend them any more highly. Felix personally talked to me for hours answering all my questions.

IMO, you might have to pay for freight but you will forget about the cost as you enjoy your tank for years. The perfectly beveled edges on a rimless tank look amazing.

I would never buy anything other than a Reef Savvy after owning this one. I've owned 4 glass cages and will never buy another one from him. Ocea, well the tanks I've seen of theirs were less than sub par and really scared me even looking at them. I would buy a perfecto or other Pre-made take before buying any of the other 2.
I Agee 100% with Peter. Buy once and be happy for a long time. reef Savvy tanks are literally a piece of art!

Just my $.02

Anthony (Ameares8) has his Ocea tank for sale, although it is 140g, and it was made in the period when Ocea was producing small batch quality tanks. All sides Starphire, rimless. Probably get the tank/stand/canopy for less than a tank only like that would cost...

just call some local plastics companies and ask for pricing on sheet of cell cast acrylic and make you own tank
