I'm wanting to upgrade, looking for a custom aquarium manufacturer.
So far I'm leaning towards Oceanic:
-90gal reef-ready bow
-"Signature Series" cherry cabinetry
-sapphire glass...
Question is, can anyone recommend someone else? I'm not in any hurry so I'd like to shop around as this is going to be a $$$$ set-up.:hmm4:

-sapphire glass...

Sapphire glass??? Why would you want a blue tint on your glass? Im sure sapphire glass would be awefully expensive considering its a precious jewel....

LOL anyway, Interamerican makes Starphire tanks.....You might also check with AGA....Im not sure if they do starphire though.

There are very few companies making bowfront tanks, might be hard to another besides AGA/ Oceanic to build it. I don't even know if there is anyone building them with starphire glass. Bent panel "white glass" may not even be available.

Pretty much the only compliant about Oceanic's starphire tanks I've heard is the rather expensive price tag they charge for them. Other companies charge less for them, often a lot less (Inter-American).

Buddy, give your head a shake... I must have the "lingo" mixed up! The glass I'm talking about has the clairity of acrylic. I thought it was called sapphire...whatever.

I have 90 gallon rectangular Oceanic with Starfire glass. After paying what I did for that tank I can't imagine how much they would charge for a bowfront tank. ;) :)
