Help!!!!! looking for 180 peninsula

[josh6surfer]

Any help i can get!!! lol

So I'm looking to build a 180g peninsula mix reef and can't find anything besides Redsea and Waterbox aquariums. Any suggestions where i could find some like this online?
I already looked into reef savvy. I'm not looking to buy an all in one and i'd also prefer low iron glass.

yeah give joe at glass cages a call or message. they can make rimless, euro braced or rimed tanks. i dont have one of there tanks yet but plan to when i can do 300+ that said I have talked to Joe many times about options.

if you dont want to go that route get an 180 from pet smart or LFS tank and drill it.

Pro star rimless 200 is a 160 display and they have it in a peninsula But all in one

I’ve been looking into you guys as well and will be reaching out. I’ve seen and heard good things. What’s your turn around time, say I ordered today? Is getting glass an issue for you right now?

Great to hear from you @josh6surfer

Our typical build time is 5 to 7 weeks.

I am hear about a glass shortage. Well, Glass Cages has about 140 tons of glass currently and about 80 tons to be delivered next week. We are doing pretty good with glass supply.

Let us know how we can help you next.

How about really big and talk to @fishguy242 he has a monster peninsula. 8ft * 4ft * ?

For the 180 try glass cages. Good people

You are looking for a custom builder? There are plenty of them. I used Concept Aquariums in Canada for my 200 peninsula and am happy with the result. The price was reasonable.

now that right there is transparency...listing 23 tank builders to let the customer choose what is best for them. that there is a company I would highly conciser ( and I am for a 300+)

I doubt any other builder would publicly make a list like that on a reef forum?

 

[josh6surfer]

Well I found what I was looking for and we made our decision. I would like to take a sec and thank everyone that reached out.
We are going with Coast to coast. Their customer service and response time has been exceptional. I send an email I received a response. After asking around and seeing videos on YouTube. The decision was easy. If you go to @ReefBum YouTube channel you’ll find an awesome build series he is doing on one of his Coast to coast tanks.

Thank you for the information you provided us. I hadn’t heard of 8 of these companies. It is very respectable that you listed your competitors on here.

Maybe not but there is one on the forum already... ;)

Your thoughts on custom tank manufacturers?

So lately I seem to see a lot of threads popping up on advice on custom tank manufacturers and which ones people would recommend. Last fall I went through the same process myself and landed on a manufacturer here in Canada. But it's recently dawned on me that in my search and even combing...
