Hey everyone I contracted a local Florida acrylic tank builder to build my 200gal display tankas a replacement for my all glass 240g. This builder came well recommended in our community, I had a good experience up until I got the new tank home. The new display tank had many bubbles in one of the acrylic joints that is slowly turning into stress fractures as you can see. After 2 weeks of messages on my part and nothing but Promesses on his, I’m here simply to inform the community, potential buyers beware. What do you guys think of his product and follow thru?

I have seen him posting tanks often. Sorry to see the tank quality and his replies to the issue is poor. I hope this gets worked out.

I hope to see him this Saturday, but I fear that the tank may not be repairable, and will require replacement. Which of course takes time to build a replacement not to mention finding temporary quarters for all the live stock etc
