Where to buy Custom Tank?

Does anyone in the Roanoke/Blacksburg area have any experience with custom tank vendors? I'm looking to have a custom glass tank built. I'm considering Aquarium Obsessed in Toronto but am concerned with shipping costs. I am not willing to consider Glasscages. Any others close by that I should consider?

Thanks in advance.

I have not had any experience with custom building... Just curious why GlassCages is not an option? Prior experience?
 
I'm planning on a 220g (72"x24"x30") with starphire on 3 sides. External overflow and eurobracing.

Absolute reasons against GC: they don't do external overflows

Relative reasons against GC: enough bad reviews in the vendor forum to make me want to go with someone with a better reputation.

Try asking in the Large Tank forum. With that size and starphire glass, you're going to want it done right. I don't even want to think of what 220 gallons of saltwater spilled in your house would look like.
 
Update:

I got two good quotes from Aquarium Obsessed in Canada and AGE in Texas.

Shipping is going to be in the 400 range - a good chunk of change but not prohibitive. I think I'm going to go with the A.G.E. (one piece glass eurobracing, pvc bottom, and a great reputation). Tanks going to be 72"x30"x30".
