Midwest Custom Aquariums

Has anyone had any experience with Midwest Custom Aquariums in Buffalo MN? Or can anyone recommend a local (MN/WI) aquarium builder?

I'd be intersted in hearing some feedback for these guys too. They used to sell on Ebay, dont know if they still do or not.

Yeah- they still have tanks on ebay. Thats where I saw them first.

I purchased a custom 90 36x24x24 from Chris at Midwest Custom Aquariums and I am very happy with it. The quality is very good- not great, but still very good and the price seemed reasonable. It was $500 after everything. Customer service over the phone seemed a little sketchy but in person Chris is a great guy. He built to my exact specifications unless it was impossible to do so and explained why. Turn around time was very fast, under 3 weeks. Overall I am very happy with the ROCK SOLID tank he built and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for custom arcylic.

Nice indeed! So, do you have any water in that tank yet or is it like ours, collecting dust? Maybe it's a luxury beer coaster instead!

It is indeed a VERY good beer coaster!

I decided to hold off on it until I know for sure my living situations- we might be moving in the next 6 months and it just doesn't make sense to set it up right now. So yup it's a very expensive dust collecting beer coaster at the moment.
