Looking for 48x24x14 I want someone with a good rep to make it.Not interested in making one myself.Not a big DIY kinda guy.Now if you want some landscaping or have a lawn problem I am the guy LOL.
 
No need to go custom here, Deep Blue is now selling frag tanks in those exact dimenstions, and they are cheap!
 
Yeah, if only for a frag tank the Deep Blue ones look very nice for the money. If you want top quality, Reef Savvy. If you want acrylic, I'd recommend Advance Acrylics (John Hoang), I just order a sump from him. He used to sell on ebay, but no longer, he's doing it all be reputation and e-mail/phone. If interested I can give you his contact info, just PM me. I can not recommend Glasscages, and they're in my backyard, wish I could support a local business. Put it this way, I just picked up a Reef Savvy tank in Miami if that says anything...visited the beach too...
 
dont buy a glass cages,we just had a thread on another forum where a GC tank exploded today.they are horribly built and ticking time bombs.i wont link the thread since its a different forum.

Don't buy a advance acrylics either!!!! Buy a envision acrylics...;) night and day difference lol.... I'm getting tired of repairing those dumb advance acrylic ones.....
 
and whats funny is people are STILL defending GC and saying any tank can fail.my responce was"yes any tank CAN fail,but whos tanks fail most often?"i told them if you own a GC tank just drain it and get something else,their tanks cannot be trusted for any long term tank.im sooooo glad i didnt buy one a few years ago when i was trying to go custom,all the bad reviews really helped me decide to go elsewhere.

I think Deep Blue tanks are absolute crud. They are poorly built and contacting customer support is impossible. They do anything they can to not give you any phone numbers or contact info besides their email which is still a PITA to contact them through. I can buy their stuff from them for wholesale price and still refuse to. Bubbles in seams, thin glass. I would not trust their tanks...ever.
 
A Lfs here gets visio tanks they actually look very nice and there great priced might be a option for a glass one....

I actually have a 75 gallon display from them.It is a great tank silicone is flawless no bubbles here.
 
I haven't had an issue with Deep Blue tanks yet, but how about a different suggestion? Check with your local reefers and see where they got theirs. Might even have a supplier local to save delivery fees.
