Best Place for Custom tanks?

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.

you could always look into getting the glass cut and building your own. I personally haven't done it, but many here will say it isn't that hard. Maybe source out the glass and cutting and then get some canreefers to help you.

If price isn't an issue, get jay... If you want you can always come over to my place see the quality he builds. But as I stated don't deal with him through the LFS he works through, deal with him directly.

Otherwise, the only other person I recommend is Kevin.

Maybe others have options for you.
