Where can I get a custom tank built?

[driftin]

I tried searching, and wound up skimming through the most recent 10 pages of threads or so instead. My gf and I just bought a place and I almost have her convinced to let me install a built-in tank into the wall, visible from three sides (whether or not she bites will depend on the total cost). Footprint dimensions would be ~28" square. I'd be doing the bulk of the install - stand, lighting, plumbing, cabinets.

I saw that Rod makes custom sumps (so I'd assume he could do a tank too...), is there anyone else in the Chicago-land area I can talk with? I live in the city, but I'm prepared to drive if necessary (especially for a decent price and quality work).

Thanks for any advice.

I like glasscages.com for price. Great tanks for a build in. You just have to wait till they are in the area again. Which is the 22nd of July, also October. LOTS of mixed feelings on this guys tanks though do a search, or look at the home page here for more info.

You can't go wrong with Doug, he will tell it like it is. The only mix feelings I got is his coffee with sugar or without.

I have a great acrylic guy. The only problem is you need EXACT measurments on how you want it. He will gladly do it (he has a kick *** hexigon in his office).
