Hello,

Does anyone know of any glass aquarium builders that build quality tanks here locally?

Thank you :D

There are a couple, I think Aquarium Environments and Aquarium Design Group (one of our sponsors) do custom work. I'd recommend calling and getting some quotes, though, as I think they are geared more towards service than doing just custom tanks.

I ended up with an Oceanic custom, which was a little better price and I knew what I would be getting in terms of quality. I've heard of great things about Mircales in Glass, but you'd have to pay freight shipping for them (they're up north, but even with shipping it's competitively priced and they have great service). If you are on more of a budget, glasscages.com does a lot of work, but their customer service and ability to get an order right on the first try seems to be in question. Some folks here in town recently had a delivery from them, and they all seemed quite pleased.

Good luck shopping!

Hmmm, I believe Aquarium Environments is owned or at least affiliated with Fish Gallery, since the phone numbers reach the same business as does the website. Their custom work is done by Ocean View Aquarium Systems...

Thanks for the recommendations.....any others anyone can think of?

Thank you :)

I believe Aquarium Environments is located behind Megan's. I had a custom sump built there.

That placed was called Waterworld, formerly Universal. They shut down around november, I believe. I was ready to order from them, but they stopped picking up their phone, at which point I later confirmed they closed shop.

Aquarium Environments/Fish Gallery custom work is done within the company. There are several threads on Reef Central about custom tanks from AE. Search for Naka's 180. I highly recommend them.
