Hi I’m looking to start a new shallow reef! Want to know if anyone knows a custom acrylic company that can build me a tank in south Florida. Also leave your suggestions for pre made aquariums having a hard time finding shallow tanks even in glass. I’m looking for something around 48-18-12

I made this tank in attached photo with glass sides, a plastic frame and PVC sheet bottom. It came together pretty easy and the whole project cost me only about $110. It's also easy to drill that PVC for plumbing.

So you had them cut it did you drill the hole yourself? what kind of glass is that? You just did the silicon yourself?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
