Who made these acrylic tanks?

I'm trying to figure out who made these acrylic tanks. I once found there site, but have lost the bookmark. I swore they were made somewhere in the southern US and I know the company also makes frag tanks as well. Obviously the ones below were made for, and once used in, retail stores.

They are all 48" wide.

The above tank is the top section which has 6 sections and one large hole in the back made for the drain via bulk head.

The tank above is the middle section used to have 3 sections(which I removed) and it also has a overflow box built in the back left with two holes in the bottom.

The final picture is the bottom section designed to act as a sump with three sections.(obviously I did not clean it after its' last use and it's a bit dirty) It had a single small bulk head drilled in the back of it and once has spray bars which were set up in it for what I imagine was held above media such as filter floss or bio balls for wet dry filtration.

Any help in tracking down the source of these tanks, manufacturer, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I believe it to be sealife systems out of jacksonville fla i bought an exact copy of your system theres actually a fourth tank thats similiar to the 6 section part hope that helps greg
 
You can contact any acrylic shop and they can make some to your specs. The Aquarium Company is a little pricey but they stand behind their work.
 
I have a couple setups like that that I purchased from a store that went under. Mine have 2 of the 6 compartment levels on top of the 3 compartment one. Semi circle grooves in the front are made for flourecent lights to sit in and the sump has a pull out tray for a prefilter. Mine say they were made by "clarity plus". I purchased a couple similar acrylic strips from truvue that worked well with these systems to give me some 6x6 cubes on top.
 
Thanks. I wish I knew more about working with acrylic and had more space. The one I took the dividers out of leaked on me REALLY badly. I would love to use them and would like to repair the one, but I'm renting a town house and just don't have the space. For now I have these just sitting in storage. :-( Thanks for the responses. I think TrueVue was the site I had seen them on before, but they must no longer sell these specific models premade. Thanks to all that responded.
 
TruVu never made this particular style but like a few have said, SeaLifeSystems has made them for years. I just gave away a bunch of these to a two different breeders :) I got them from a store on the east coast and had them trucked out here to Cali (free, only cost of shipping)
