Has anyone here ordered a custom tank from American aquariums in PA? What did you get and how was your experience? How was the workmanship?

I have an American Aquariums tank (180+ gallons). Very happy with it. Quality is great and better priced than most other quotes I had. Plus delivery from PA to NJ was essentially free ($50). Adam the owner replied with a quote almost instantly on a Sunday morning after I sent an email. Build time was 12 weeks.

In-wall build Peninsula style external overflow, dual 1' drains and two polycarbonate lids.
Cabinetry was from a local cabinet builder.

I know. I had the same concern at first. Website has been the same for 3 years. I don't have Facebook but Google it to their page and there are some pictures at least. I can vouch for a really good experience.

I'm curious about them as well. I'm looking for glass but it seems that everyone that has posted about them went with acrylic.

I didn't realize they did glass. Acrylic work is solid and likely their specialty
