400g glass built on-site by Concept Aquatics.

I've had two tanks built on-site and the nice thing is there are never any stresses on the tank from moving it around.

Concept does amazing work and for a great price. Send Dave a msg he'll get you a quote very fast.

From what I see, alot of great tanks being built for great pricing. Dave @ concepts, Kevin @ red coral... Both do use the same guy at times, but both are offering great products.

I myself, got mine from Jay "The tank builder" many years back, he was the premier guy then for high-end stuff. Don't know where he is at now, but he might still be around. Maybe someone can offer some info here.

Advantages I had with mine was polished and bevelled edges, on all pieces of glass including sump. C&C'd holes, bubble traps, etc.. Basically I got all the rings and bells. Didn't have a one piece euro, as that wasn't really done yet, but everything else.

So back then I got 180ish gallon display, 100ish gallon sump, steal powder coated stand, all waterproof plywood, foam, bulkheads, etc. with delivery and setup for $2000 (brand new). I think you can get cheaper now, not sure, but can tell you my tank is a showpiece in itself.

My next tank I will again look at Jay (if he is around) and compare his product to the others out there. Looking at the quality, features, and so on. Price isn't everything!!!
