Tank Mfg.?

I know of Glass Cages, and Aquarium Obsessed. Who else in this part of the country makes glass tanks that you can order a custom unit from???

Just fishing, may have something in the works.

you really need a bigger tank. You have so much stuff in it now there is no room for water!

It's the wavebox's fault. After I put it on the tank everything got wider so now I need a wider tank. No it really did, I guess the coral didn't like being moved back and forth and bulked up to fight the current.

I've heard good things about the company that made Naka's and Invincible569's tanks. They use a PVC bottem, really interesting. I think they are called AGE or something. Based in texas, so shipping might be a lot, but worth a look. For what its worth, I love my AO.

And what would the dimensions be of this tank you heard about ??

Maybe you both can get a deal on shipping ?? Usually the main cost is from point A to B and I bet if you were to ship two tanks it wouldn't be much more and then you could split the shipping, just throwing out ideas...

Shawn, I've been in the planning stages on this for 2 years. You'll have to stay tuned for a build thread...

That was just an offer to Sammie to see one in person.
Depends on how big of hurry your in sammie, mine Is going to be a little while yet.


There is a possibility I may have to travel to Houston Texas next month for work, So there is a slim chance I could be bringing it home with me.
Timing would have to be just right... Otherwise shipping is about $500.


I sent for quotes to AO and Miracles.
The plan was to go with Derek @ Miracles but the PVC bottom concept was really exciting for me.
AGE's price was highest but being a BB guy, I think this is really going to work out well for me.


I also heard a rumor this week (by someone that would know) that Derek @ Miracles has been playing with PVC bottoms.
He didnt sound over Entheastic about it but did say that Derek is playing with them...
So there may be another PVC tank manufacture available in the future.

Miracles was the lowest quote.
