Well here is my thoughts;
I have heard many bad stories and talked to a few people first hand that had their Aquagiant tanks break or explode.
This is not a place a would pick to save a few dollars, everything else relies on the strength of the tank. Not to mention changing a tank at a later date is a huge job, totally not worth it.
If you want a custom tank try Dave at Concept Aquatics http://www.conceptaquatics.ca/ there is several threads on here about Dave and his great work.

I personally own 12 custom aquagiant tanks - 90 gallon custom sizes.
so far, I haven't had any problems with them.
I am sure that there are horror stories out there about most tank companies if they have been around long enough.
I think you should be fine.

My custom sump is fine.

Any tank can leak or crack.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I was gonna say that I thought the problems they were having was with the curved tanks.
apparently, in one case that is so.

I guess I should add that the tanks that I heard about first hand were the curved glass tanks.
