Acrylic tank suppliers that do custom work like c2c

[LivingSeas]

I'm looking to pick up my first tank. I want to get a 200+ gallon acrylic tank
With a custom coast to coast skimmer and pre drilled for returns and drains.

I can build a stand out of 2by material myself.

Any suggestions on who to buy from? I'm not looking for the cheapest. I want
A really great tank for a reasonable price from someone who does great work
And is helpful..

Thanks Mike

Is it easier/more cost effective to make your own? Where would you go about getting the acrylic?

Acrylic at the thickness needed without a vendor license would probably run about 1000 per sheet if made 84 x 24 x 24 out of 1/2 inch. That is not including the overflow which would be significantly less. The only bad side to doing it yourself is that you "Own" any and all mistakes.

So it really isnt cost effective to make your own unless you are going massive size

This thickness would require a euro brace to prevent deflection. Thicker acrylic would help with that but as the thickness increases the costs seem to skyrocket.
