Local Tank Fabricator?

[Steelslinger75]

Does anyone know of a local tank fabricator? I am looking to purchase a large glass tank 300+ gal with starphire glass.

Thanks,
John

Contact Reef Systems down in Columbus. I think the owner may have a lead on a tank builder down that way. What dimensions are you shooting for?

I am looking for a something about 96x30x30. I want to talk to the builder myself. I may be able to get the starphire glass for the tank at a reasonable price because I work for PPG.

There is http://www.greatlakesaquariums.com/ Great Lakes Aquariums but they are in the Detroit area.

I visited a tank fabricator north of Columbus a few years ago, but he was then only building acrylic tanks.

I called glasscages in TN. They were very informative and friendly. I can get a 96x24x31 RR with three sides starphire for about $1400. They quoted the shipping up to Cleveland at only $100. I read some pretty good things about them. I need to call as ask about their tank waranties. I need to get this before my future wife moves in :rollface:

Anyone have any experience with them?

Here's a thread discussing Glasscages and some alternatives.

The tanks I've seen in person from this company are top notch.
