I am beginning the process of getting quotes for a new tank. I know there are artisans in every city that do small amounts of custom work, but who are the large national manufacturers of acrylic tanks that could do fabricate something around 750 gallons? Just a plain old rectangular tank with euro bracing. Any recommendations or good experiences? Thanks.

I've heard good this about Tenecor. No personal experience though.

My personal experience with James at Envision http://www.envisionacrylics.com/
was nothing short of fantastic. Just do a search for Envision in this forum, and I would be very surprised to hear anyone who owns one of his aquariums say anything negative about the quality and workmanship. I own a 200 gallon acrylic cube (42*42*30) that he made and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment when it comes time to have another one built.

Tenecor makes a great tank, but it will probably arrive about 6 weeks after they say it will. My freinds tank was also drilled wrong, with the bulkheads that didn't fit. Their customer service rivals any cell phone provider or cable tv company

NICE tank peanut!
I have a 310 from Inovative Plastics They are in Lavonia, MI.

They custom build almost every thing, not just fish tanks.

I paid ?1,200-1,300? for mine. I don't remember? been several years. Yes "lifetime" warrenty means as long as I own the tank or they are in business.

Thank you for the feedback. I spoke to somebody at Tenecor and Envision and both were extremely helpful over the phone. They both seem to be reputable options.
