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.

IMO, that is really good. May I suggest you ask him for some references, maybe you can see one of his builds.

Don't go with bow valley in Calgary. I have had nothing but problems and they made my overflow 2inchs to low. Had to fix myself and quality isnt that great but they say you get what you pay for so be careful! I would pay more if you can afford it and get a better build. Just my 2 cents.

Please look through old threads to see trends. I can't say enough about Mitch and bow valley aquariums. if you look at those threads you'll notice that too.
