Good Morning R2R,

Looking for companies to get quote for future 300 gallon build that I want to plumb from my Gathering room down to my basement.

Please let me know what companies may be best to work with!!

Thanks in advance!

Location? If US @Joe Glass Cages is the first to come to mind but I'm sure there are others. I have no first hand experience but thats who I'm using once I decide to move forward with my next build.

Glass or acrylic?

Pat at Coast To Coast built me a 6' 145 gallon tank and it is excellent

Got my 280g through my LFS, who orders wholesale through Planet Aquarium

If you go to their website, they have a Mega Matrix line that has a pretty good selection of sizes and configurations you can play with and see pricing.

If it’s truly custom it costs a lot more, but their configurations cover most bases.

They also sell matching stands and hoods if that’s something you want. Highly recommend!

I'll second @mfinn 's question and also ask where you are located. Finding a shop or builder close to you that can get you what you want can help you save money.

Good advice, I’m in Cleveland, OH.

I may be wrong but I don't think we have a custom builder nearby, at least not glass. I know the owner of Aquatica in valley city does acrylic tanks but not glass. Pretty sure he built some of tidal gardens new tanks.

Another vote for @Joe Glass Cages …great guy and known for quality

 

[Troylee]

@Joe Glass Cages love my tank.

 

[BZOFIQ]

I'd say Glass Cages at this point is your best bet.

 

[fishguy242]

one more for Joe ...

I am also from CLE. No one around here could even come close to matching what I ordered from Glasscages. I am on the eastside. If you want to stop by to see the 180g they built for me pm me.
