My buddy is going to do an install for a guy out here in SoCal. He wants a large L shaped tank with a curved side. Tank needs to be glass. Anyone know if a company who would take on such a job, and do a good job?

Check with Coast to Coast custom aquariums in New Jersey.....Pat Pawlowski or Chris Walker
 
I have personally used Custom aquariums and Miracles in Glass. Not sure about the curved side aspect tho. My LFS recent got a large display from Planet Aquariums and was very impressed! Might want to try them also. AGE and Reef Savvy are a couple more that come to mind with excellent build quality!

Have contacted AGE, Planet aquariums, and Reef savvy so far. waiting on responses from them.
 
Aquavim does curved...

My tank is from Planet Aquariums... love the quality, but I don't know if they do bent glass.
 
curious on what you came up with......

I see these threads pop up quite a bit, but, rarely, do we see comparisons, as far as prices.
I'm one of those guys that understands quality costs money and I love to help out the local guy when I can.....
(actually drove by Coast to Coast this morning to check it out......knowing it was closed.....but, it was literally 10 mins from me.)

Am I being too forward to ask what ranges your quotes came back as? If I see something reasonably priced for a style like that, I just might rethink my kitchen. :)

PM is fine if the public forum is inappropriate.

I think we got quotes from 70k-200. It was difficult to even get someone to even be open to the project. The overall best service was through Gaston as tank me Usa.
 
thanks for the reply.
I didnt think a design that awesome would be cheap.

Hearing a lot of good things about TankMeUSA.........
