Who makes custom Tanks?? other than galss cages

[erickrm]

I am pondering a new tank for about 4-6months from now... and want to see my other options for custom tanks:

24X24X16 or maybe 24X30X16 I would like an external overflow box, with holes for a CL.... Dart with Oceans Motions(2500gph on omss ver. 2 and 500ishgph(after head loss) on a spray bar at the bottom of the tank) have the nozels pointed in a 360deg motion(gyre?). Starboard at the bottom of the tank silicone all the way around to avoid detritus build up at the bottom. Finally LIG on 2 sides front and one side, as this will be only 2 sided viewable(in-wall(not much wall space ))

So, anyone know any good company out there besides GC that builds custom glass tanks? i dont want to do acrylic only bc i am not very careful and i know i will scratch it pretty badly lol. thanks.

I think I have heard Miracles in Glass or something along those lines. Key to any glass I gather is to have it aneeled (maybe I have the wrong name for the process) I think they termed it. To cut down on surface softness and make for higher scratch resistance. Something that apparently glass cages after you spend all that money on work and shipping they don't bother with. Maybe the starphire upgrades are better for this reason as well.

aquarium obsessed is in penn i think, miracles is in canada. those are two of the big ones i have heard of that people seem to be very happy with. Both are going to be considerable more expensive than GC. However i wouldn't buy a tank from glass cages EVER. I tried and ended up making them take it back because it was wrong and chipped. and was treated VERY poorly by the owner. not worth it. If you really want a custom tank shell out the money for a reputable company to build it.
