Local place that can make a small custom aquarium?

[handsfullofreef]

Weighing my options into getting back in the hobby. Was wondering if theres any local or semi local places that can make me a small custom aquarium. Just figured id do local and cut out shipping, but if i can get it for a good deal id be happy to ship. So if you know of a good reliable website send me there to.

Thanks for any help

glass cages is near our area. but.... i have heard a TON of mixed reviews of their products. some people like them, some say to avoid them like the plague.. apart from that check the LFS. They can order you custom stuff from more reliable vendors.

MemFish pointed me towards them. I might take them as theyve been the cheapest I could find. And I can't find panels big enough to build my own. Plus I've never built my own. Haha still checking out my options though.

That's for the reply

My tank was custom made by glass cages. I have nothing but good things to say about my tank.
I had to trim some silicone off the edges.
Just had to wait 30 days to add water to allow the silicone to cure.
And they don't use tempered glass so you have to set the tank on 3/4 contractors foam.
And some of the bad posts I found if you read between the lines they didn't do either of those things when they set up the tanks.

Where did you pickup the contractors foam?

 

[handsfullofreef]

Yes what Hillbillyyoda said? BEcause they gave me an amazing price on the tank i wanted.

I was curious as to where you (Insanityink2) picked up the "contractors foam"?

 

[handsfullofreef]

Haha oops did not mean to put the question mark there. :hmm4:

Is it a spray foam? Quick google search showing a bunch of spraying contractors foam? Or is it like the stuff used under carpets.

Thats what i got searching at home depots website.

That look's like it would work. I wouldn't need that much.

 

[handsfullofreef]

I need to take a trip to home depot anyways. Ill see if you can buy it by the foot like you can carpet. Which makes sense. That stuff is light i doubt anyone would need 5 lbs of it on here haha

Here is a 6ft by 8ft piece for 25$ not to bad.

Nevermind its not thick enough.

They gave me a sheet when I picked up the tank.
But lowes sales it also. Sorry took so long to get back to you I had to work 6 hours today.
