That's a good deal, although probably half the water volume you're looking for? Doug Lehman gave me a quote for a similar sized acrylic tank (31x27). If you want glass, I saw a thread on the Lighting Filtration etc forum in the last day or two with some options.

Ya I'm looking for a little bigger than the 30 gal. Thanks for the offer though.

Thanks for the link. I more interested in a glass tank if possible.

I've heard some mixed reviews about glasscages...anyone hear about Aquarium Obsessed? The prices for Glasscages seems resonable. I think I am looking at a tank 30"x 30"x25" with an overflow box on the outside if possible. Anyone we know locally that can build a tank? I think Rod has built some tanks before.

you have to consider shipping also when you custom order a tank, it can really get up there. My buddy ordered a 60 cube from Glass Cages with Euro bracing and I thought it was well made, very sturdy. They also deliver in the area a couple times a year.
