Hi

Looking to have a custom acrylic tank and stand built. Anyone knows of any good and quality acrylic tank manufactures?
 
Ok thanks! Have you heard of americanaquariums? I heard they build tanks and stands but wanted to know how there quality is
 
Sometimes your location can help with the decision, you could save on shipping.
 
I have one from Midwest Custom Aquariums. I have had for at least 10 years and very happy with it. It is 60" x 36" x 24"
 
I was looking at 96x24x24 3/4 thickness all around and just go 1/2 inch on the top or bottom. Would anyone know which is more important the top of tank or bottom. Not sure if I should go 1/2inch on the top or the Bottom?
 
I recently upgraded my tank and went acrylic for the first time (in 30 years). Chose to go with fishtanksdirect and couldn't have been happier. OK, they were a little slow, but the build quality is first rate and they were willing to do a few 'odd' customizations for me. It's a 96x36x30 with 1" on all sides, 3/4" on the bottom and top.

Late Response to your post, I'm glad your not having any issues with the tank. I also bought one from them & will never do so again. One month after purchase I had some small crack like spots show up & after contacting & sending pictures they told me it was not an issue & then quit responding or answering the phone even though i called different people there & left messages. (after a yr & 3 months they have gotten slightly longer & more spots/air bubbles have shown up. I know I will have to replace it.
