Acrylic Aquarium Builders in California

dbdisok · 02/27/2013, 05:06 PM

I am trying to locate a list of companies that build acrylic aquariums.

I am located in California, so any companies in or near my state would be good to know about.

Advance Aqua Tanks does both acrylic and glass. Their glass tanks are of exceptional quality and I'm sure their acrylic ones are too. They offer nice footprints too, a bit different than some of the standard sizes.

Rid out plastics in SD, not sure if SD plastics still does. Be careful though, sometimes you get stuck with an inferior product made with material that is too thin.

This guy does AMAZING work. I've seen many of his tanks here locally and you won't find better craftsmanship... freight down I5 wouldn't be that expensive

Definition envision acrylic. My 375g 1" acrylic tank was made by James, and it's unequivocally the best craftsmanship I've ever seen. James has a special machining technique to eliminate all bubbles in the seams.

The good thing is, even with shipping his tanks are still cheaper than the big name brands in California.

I briefly considered him for my new tank, but I'm in Ohio. So I had a friend help me with it.
But I've heard over and over of James and his good work
