Its size restrictions by UPS thats the problem.

No such thing as size restrictions you've just got to be willing to pay the shipping costs.

Glasscages will ship one up to 65 gallons. That's just one company. I would like to browse among several companies for different custom features available, prices, sizes, etc, etc.

is there a reason you will only consider fed ex or UPS?

For that size I would just go to your local store & see what they can get you

Most have connections with tank manufacturers

I live in rural Montana and there is only one LFS within a 100 mile radius. They do absolutly no special orders.

I would like to look at some websites to know what is available. If no shipping for a bigger tanks, I could drive to a business outside of my area, but I need links to websites.

I have looked at online catalogs for Aqueon and Marineland tanks but they list nothing about custom orders.
