just want to know in general, we are thinking of setting up a custom system for a client of ours, size is still undetermined but it will most likely be above 100 gallon and a custom shape.

As for Canada???........?

http://www.truvuaquariums.com/index.html also in the US.

The lack of comparable Canadian outfits is probably due to the higher domestic prices for acrylic.

There are some places like http://www.miraclesaquariums.com/index.html but they are back east and have limited selection.

What are atvantages to acrylic aquariums?

[Raf]

Depends on who you talk to

BUT,

in general, acrylic is lighter, clearer and stronger(especially in an earthquake). So it makes sense for LARGE tanks or tanks that are weird shapes and sizes.

I found a place in Langley, BC that claimed they could make anything...and had acrylic up to 1" thick. Unfortunately, they had no experience making aquariums in particular - which made me nervous.

In the end, I went with Envision in Oregon. http://www.envisionacrylics.com/index.html

He provided a lot of experience and actually built things into the tank that I had not considered. (ie. removable overflow strainers)
