Elite does top-notch work. If you want ground and polished edges they do that. A must I think. You wouldn't believe how many people over on that other fish site ask where I got my tank built. They assume aquarium obsessed...because it has that same professional look to it.

I had a tank built by Gary. Went through Ocean city. It was a 4ft 120gal (Opti-white)(Opti white is super clear glass) with two rear external overflows. Gary did an amazing job on the tank AND at a more than fair price.

elite aqutics can get that built up for you no sweat.
my tank and sump are both from there, and they rock. plus elite aquatics has access to a CNC machine for circular corners, shapes, ect in the glass. and all tanks are made in store (one of the only stores in canada that makes them in store) Last edited by karazy; 06-28-2009 at 01:12 AM.

mine was ordered through red coral and no complaints there. instead of going rimless i highly reccomend euro bracing that tank. I personally have alot of surface tension and iwthout the bracing it would be all over the floor. just something to think about

Bow Valley Aquatics. Will custom build whatever you want and are very reasonably priced as they are the wholesaler who supply Big Als, Pisces etc with their tanks.
$425 for a 180G with overflows interior or exterior. Just the tank/canopy glass/trim. Mine will be done on Monday and I can let you know how it goes. He has all the plumbing parts you need at the shop as well - not to mention a 3 foot grand cayman alligator in a massive tank just to show off how good he is.

Personally i would stay away from bow valley, it may be cheap but the materials used are cheap as well. if you trust some of your tank made out of a glass shower door, go for it cause it really comes down to you get what you pay for.
