It looks like they are doing custom builds. What about prefab tank with predrilles holes ?Advanced acrylics makes some nice tanks and sumps
Following. I’m quoting Advanced acrylic for a tank sump combo. I’m curious what info you come acrossI am planning to buy an acrylic tank in the range of 29-50 gallons. Does anyone have experience with this company called Fish tanks direct? Any other places you guys would recommend?
I had a 200g and a 500g custom made by them… also recommended them to a couple friends that are happy with their tanks.I bought a 20g acrylic from fishtanksdirect. Good experience.
That is true, but use a magic eraser for all in water cleaning, an old credit card for coralline. Microfiber for outside.Now a wrench has been thrown into my acrylic plan. I spoke with a tech from BRS and from what I understand these tanks are REALLY easy to scratch. I had heard about the scratching issue, but did not realize even a grain of sand on your algae magnet cleaner could cause a scratch!?

There is a different look to acrylic which makes the tank look more like a cube of water than a fish tank. Glass has a different refractive index. I think the acrylic is closer to water.
Call fish tanks direct, for aio suggestions.YES YES this exactly why I want do acrylic. Its definitely a little harder to get the ball rolling as it seems there are less packaged deals like with a Waterbox or Red Sea type combo.
Thanks for recommendation! I have actually spoken with them for the first time today and they were very helpful. Plant to call back tomorrow to get more info and will report my findings here.Call fish tanks direct, for aio suggestions.
I'm not familiar with aio acrylics, any r2r members?
I'm interested to hear what yoru experiences are. I'm dealing with John at Adavanced Acrylic. He's working on quoting me a 210 long, 67 gallon sump, and separate ATO. The prices seem super competitive and he's responding extremely quickly. I hope they treat you well!Thanks for recommendation!
