Best Place for Custom tanks?

Magma · #1 11-28-2010, 06:29 PM

I was wondering who anyone recommends for getting custom tanks made?

I would like a 75-100gal tank, sump, stand and now I just need to see who has the best price and the nicest style.

Jay, probably is one of the best.... If you can find him, check him out. Deal with him directly though, not through the store he usually works through (sorry don't want to start anything by mentioning stores I wouldn't recommend). Maybe someone can forward his info to you.

Also Kevin @ Red Coral is getting some nice tanks built, at least they look good, when I see them in the store. Check him out also.

Jay wouldn't be the cheapest, but I think he is the best. Mine is from him, and I can say the seams are great, all my edging is polished and bevelled. And all holes, curves and cuts are all C&C'd.

I would then check out Kevin, his tanks are not like described above. But when I see them, they seem well built, well siliconed. And I know Kevin treats me and others well. So he can take care of you also. Worth a chat with him.

I have caught him in the store sometimes on weekend, but you are correct, I think he tries to stay away. He will be in during the week.

I personally don't know who builds his tanks, but when I see them in the store, I do notice the seams, and build quality, and they do look good.
