Any good custom reef tank manufactures out there?
I am looking for a custom made reef tank.
I sent an email to Reef Savvy, but have not received a response as of yet - I understand that they are pretty busy. Are there any other good custom tank manufactures out there? I guess I should add that it is a 125 gallon tank with a rear sump - nothing huge. Last edited by Salty150; 05/24/2016 at 10:56 AM. |

I did some price fetching of my own. Got quotes of around $3000 on a custom 7X2X2 tank. Nothing fancy as you mentioned. I think Glass Cages maybe the cheapest option online. Also check on LFS around your area. Some of them have tie ups with bulk suppliers and can get you something a lot cheaper then online boutiques.
Planet Aquariums is also a good one but you would have to find a dealer near you as they don't do direct.

Try miracles in glass. I got my tank from there and love it.

you may want to look at all glass exhibits.. aka AGE tanks. I recently got one and now slowly putting it together. The build quality is very nice. It is more of a hybrid tank. Stainless steel frame, pvc bottom, and I have an acrylic shield on top with more stainless steel that is powder coated

I have the A.G.E tank as well - freighted out of Texas to my garage. Bought through a local LFS in Florida.
Same as Wish: steel frame, pvc bottom, blacked out back, steel frame stand with all the plywood you need for the tank and for the sump. The steel is coated with rhinolining type material - so no worries about rust.
