Planning a Tank Upgrade - Looking for Acrylic Tank Manufacturer Recommendations

I'm currently running a Waterbox 180.5 and Waterbox 90-gallon setup, but I'm looking to consolidate into a single large display tank. Somewhere on the lines of 96" x 36" x 30".

Who would you recommend for a build this size?
Any manufacturers to avoid?

I’m very happy with my 2 acrylic tanks (200 and 500g) from Fish Tanks Direct in Fla…. They also built tanks for a couple of friends !

Anyone use Acrylic Habitats ?

Advanced Acrylics. I priced at several places and they came in at $1700 shipped on a 150 gallon w/external overflow... but I have heard stories on delays and such.

Yep. Good tank. Tank is great, work is great. I wish I had gone deeper so now pricing a deeper tank and none peninsula.

Stay away from John at Advanced Acrylics. He is absolutely terrible at communication. Not worth the price savings.. should have listened to others.

Just got a custom one built for my space. Very happy with the communication and service from the owner. The 7 ft tank and sump just arrived today :). Quality look great so far!

Two I haven't seen mentioned are Tsunami and Midwest Custom Aquariums. Not too surprised about Midwest, he's on the smaller side, but Tsunami is a major player with tons of work in the industry. My own tank is a Tsunami and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Price was fair, especially since shipping was included, and turnaround time was fantastic. Great communication as well, I had an email from their sales team within a couple hours of asking and was on the phone with the actual maker within a day.
