WTB Need leads on local tank builders

My 300 came from www.customaquariums.com and it was expensive but I got exactly what I wanted. What can add to the cost is shipping but my total was high enough that shipping was free. I wanted a glass tank but at 350 gallons I think I would want to do acrylic. It took 8 guys to get my glass 300 in place!

I wish they still had the deal on the 300! I should've pulled the trigger when I had the chance.
I love the workmanship on my 3 custom aquarium tanks. Excellent silicone work and it is a nice thick black bead. I splurged and did low iron fronts on the two 65B’s. Also low iron on front and sides of the 300. I knew I wanted that after my last 210g, it was regular glass and you could see the green tint in it.

Never asked, but what are you thinking of doing?
In my application I was kind of stuck with the dimensions I did. I love the 8 foot length but wish it were 30" wide vs the 24" and then 24" tall instead of the 30". I love the look of tall tanks but the maintenance is a bear. I wish I would of had a hole drilled for a fast drain, but this was a possible leak point so I didnt. Always wanted the ability to drain off water quickly.

I'll be curious about the prices for these kinds of custom-made tanks. My fish room is completely full, but if I moved the two 55/40L racks shown in the pic, this space would be perfect for a standard 240. Would make a great setup for Cyathopharynx, which build crazy big sand nests.

I want to move the polys and Datnoid to a bigger tank, maybe get some bigger dithers like bala or Apollo sharks and also more polys hahaha
I do plan on having a hole drilled for a drain about 3/4 down the back for quick water changes. I agree that more than 2 feet deep makes it hard to clean the bottom!

I emailed them today! Will keep you guys posted on the quote. Looking at an 8’ x 3’ x 2’ deepI'll be curious about the prices for these kinds of custom-made tanks.

He quoted me 3500 for my 450 gallon. I couldn't pass that up
I drilled one on everyone of mine about 5" down. Right now i just have the 4 180s but i can drain too that point and refill every other day and each time it takes maybe 20 minutes
So glad that i decided to do it. Then i just run the drain hose into my water drain pipe.
