Unhappy Where in the heck to get a cube tank?

I am looking for a cube or fatish brick shaped tank. I like this shape because it seems MH are more suited to chubby shaped tanks rather than the popular long shapes.

Where the heck do you get these less popular shapes?

Corner tanks would be cool too but I can only find 50ish and 90ish but I am looking for something in the 60-75ish gallon range?

Thanks

www.glasscages.com

Most cube are custom make, I do believe Glass Cages have a 60ish for under $250.

If you want a real top-of-the-line one, go to www.aquariumobsessed.com Their tanks are made of low-iron glass and look amazing, but not cheap.

The are also trimless and braceless, which in my opinion makes them well worth the price.

Aquarium Obsessed states, "We pride ourselves on precise and clean work with Black Silicone."

What is "Black Silicone" and how does it look?
Why is it better than clear silicone?

Black silicone looks great. it is used in all the custom tanks

AO makes a nice tank but they are pricey for the money i think the AGE Aquariums and glass enviroments tanks are even better

GSMguy, do you have a link for those? Are they trimless/braceless like the AO tanks?

ZeroEdge tanks are very cool but extremely pricey. For that kind of money you can get custom Starphire tanks. You might also check out the new Oceanic Tech series 120 gallon model. Its fairly wide for a 48" tank at 24".

They also rely on check valves, which makes them guaranteed eventual floods. (zero edge)

You know. I start this thread like "Oh my, I can't find what I want. WAHH wAHh waahh"

and them on the exact same day I walk into my LFS and see the perfect 60 gallon glass cube. $270 didn't seem too expensive but I wanted four drilled CL holes instead of two. Oh well.

At least I have all these great options now.

If you decide on Acrylic, give James at Envision a call. He did an awesome job on my cube.
