Question best place to have a tank made

hey guy's what's the best LFS to build a 55gal reef tank with over flow, and convert my 30 gal in to a sump for the 55?

Everyone in town gets their tanks built by the same people (Mitch, Gary, or the other guy).

Best prices and design? PM me

I went and saw Albert at gold. Price was super good and the tank is top quality. I also got my sump built there. Both turned out exactly as we planned and at a good price. Talk to Albert, he's the man!!

I have a 300 gal glass inward bow tank that fits the contour of our spiral staircase in our living room.

I had it made by AI in Edmonton. However, because I needed a specific circumference to the inward bow to match the curve of my staircase they could not make it themselves. They subcontracted it out to someplace in Calgary and I don't know who actually made it. However, they kept breaking the glass while trying to heat and bend the glass. Therefore, it took over a year to finally get the tank delivered to my house.
