I am looking for a real good tank manufacturer GLASS,
Tank is going to be 48" tall x48" long x 28" deep viewing on 2 48" sides and 1 28" side.Overflow on 1 28" side.
Which company to look at for this build.
Not sure if i'm in the right section to post this, so sorry if I'm in the wrong section.
 
I just received a 240 gallon and a 29 gallon from glass cages, and they did a good job. Both of these tanks are part of a filter for a 610 gallon starphire display, which I'll buy from them too. They've received some bad press on the forum sites but my experience has been very positive.
 
Have you really thought out that 48" tall??? It is going to be a bummer to reach anything on the bottom..... I wish my 30" tall was only 26", it would make things a little easier.
 
That 28" wide measurement is not very realistic if you intend to put any sort of rockwork inside. Better oxygen exchange rates at the surface would be for a tank that is at least as wide as it is tall. Could you please elaborate what the thinking is behind the measurements you propose?

Wish I had the luck you did. I'm not real impressed with the quality of my tank. Based on my experience I would not recommend A.G.E.

Wow you are the first person I have heard of that did not have a good experience. Have you talked with them?

David found some air bubbles in the glass on his tank & they actually came by his house, picked it up, put a new piece of glass on & sent it back to him.

Dan's tank is AGE also.
 
My tank is an AGE hybrid. Top quality. Tall tanks require unique tools but are worth it for the spectacular viewing, similar to a public aquaria. My tank is in my library/study--a room with high ceilings and the tank "fits" this room well. Base your height more on the room you will place it in. AGE tanks are not cheap yet very well built.
 
Oceans By Design in Seattle, WA is one of the best glass aquarium builders in the Pacific Northwest. They are very skilled and talented and create stunning aquariums that have been in multiple tank builds on this forum. Wish I have the funny for one of their tanks, for now, I just have an Aqueon 29 gallon. :)

The guy I ordered through is trying to get it resolved so we will see.

Mine has a lot of air bubbles (not in the glass but in the silicone) and the edges of the glass where it was cut has some nice size grooves that are very easily seen. Also one of the overflow covers were cut crooked so there's a nice 1/4" difference from one end to the other.

Your tank and David's tank are the reason I purchased from them.

Could you please provide some links to these tanks??
I am in the NW, and in the market for a glass tank.
 
I have hused Miracles in Glass and was pleased. Althought I have not used them but have seen their work in person, Reef Savvy was crazy nice! I know AGE gets alot of good press here. Glass Cages gets FAR more bad reviews than good.
