Where to buy a 120 or 180 rimless

[Spiderman097]

Hey everyone,
Looking for some input on where I should buy my rimless. I know of glass cages and SCAquariums, are there any other sites I should be shopping around at?

Planet Aquariums is another, Cadlights is an option as well (basically SCA without the customer service)

Build your own?

I've been kicking around the desire to build a 6'x30"x18" rimless tank (roughly 180g) with starfire glass up front.

I've built about 5 tanks for myself and friends, but the biggest so far is a 65g shallow reef (4'x2'x14"). The big tank is a big step, but it's possible.

SC Aquariums, great price and great CS! Got my 80 cube off them and its a gorgeous tank!

They show a 120(48x24x24) euro braced with center overflow 12mm starfire glass for 899$. next size up on their website is a 150, then a 210. No 180 option, but they do build custom.

Yea, I got quoted for $1700 for 180 from SCA. If it was $1200-$1300 I'd pull the trigger.

Reefsavvy is awesome sauce but last I checked they had a huge waiting list.

I ended up getting my tank custom from Miracles in Canada. Top notch quality. But if you're in no rush, and if I had to do it again, I would go with Reefsavvy.

Find a good LFS that specialize in reefs and see what they can do. (even if it an hour or two drive) they can usually get a better deal on the shipping and may know people that work with acrylic or build tanks. They also may know of people selling or breaking down reefs at the moment. I bought an 80 gallon rimless from my LFS and I paid 375, same tank online everywhere I looked at $500.00 plus without shipping.

As much as I would like to go with Reefsavvy, I'm very much so priced out of their tanks. They quoted me about $3.2k for a 180g
