2nd for aquarium obsessed. Service is unmatched.

I've heard great things about miracles also.

Interamerican is another option but I've heard mixed reviews.

If you want acrylic Envision Acrylics and My Reef Creations get thumbs up.

i have heard both good and bad about glass cages. I think if you did a search, you would get more than enough information to make a choice.

If you want acrylic AquArt

We had AquArt build our 140 pentagon corner unit to our specifications with acrylic stand. We are very pleased with the outcome. They are located in OH but the shipping was reasonable (we are in GA). Their website is not updated often or maintained well but does have contact info:

http://www.aquartaquariums.com
phone: 800.229.8265

I had difficulty finding some of their references located on-line but the ones I did find were quite happy. They will provide more updated references if you call and ask.

The company built to our dimensions but did their own engineering. The price of the tank, hood and stand was less than a retail tank of the same gallonage (but not cheap). They built and shipped within the timeframe they specified.
