What all companies build and deliver tanks nation wide? I know DSA went out of business.

I got my custom 65 gallon starfire rim less from Planet Aquarium in Dallas. I will be ordering a 180 rim less peninsula for my new office soon.

Custom Aquariums in Neenah,WI does custom Glass tanks, they do not do eurobracing nor do they use plastic top and bottom rims. They use anodized marine grade aluminum and offer a lifetime warranty. You also DO NOT have to but a stand from them to get the warranty. And their is no cost for dlivery if you order is above 2k.

Reef Savvy. Excellent work, but little slow. Their ghost overflow is great: you don't waste any tank space.

I got mine from glasscages.com. If you search reviews you'll get a lot of negative ones, but done really good ones too. I decided to take a risk and ordered one because their prices were amazing. I do not regret that choice. The thing's built like a bomb shelter, all of the silicone looks great, and all of the edges are nicely polished. I would recommend them to someone I loved, if that says anything. No, I don't work in the fish industry, or for glass cages.

Actually went with Miracles Aquariums out of Ontario Canada for mine. Shipped to GA was still one of the cheapest options I could find. Oh, and I am totally happy.

I ordered a custom Starfire glass aquarium from my LFS, who placed an order with AquaVim. Their reputation for quality is very strong based on my on line research. I ordered it in September and was a little shocked to learn it would not be ready until December. I had a lot of work to do on my build at the time and I know patience is a virtue in the hobby, so I went ahead with the order.

I later learned that the tanks are actually manufactured in China! It is relevant to my point b/c it is the middle of January and I have just been told that I won't get the tank until the middle of February due to shipping issues.

How do you get their warranty without buying their stand? Looking at getting one of their tanks.

All you have to do is buy their tank and poof you have a lifetime warranty. I also suggest not buying their tank moving kit, its 500 bucks and you could get a few buddies and buy them a few beers for much less.

I looked at all possible US options and was about to pull the trigger on a Reef Savvy tank. But, in the end, I ordered a custom Elos tank from Italy and cannot be happier. Freight charges were a pain, but overall, only about 10% more than Reef Savvy quotes with their freight charges. Elos also made a beautiful, steel powder coated stand with adjustable feet which made leveling the aquarium a breeze.

But the tank only has a lifetime warranty if its on one of their stands. I thought the moving kit was pretty cheap. Most of its the deposit, which you get back once you return the kit. Depending on the kit you get its only costs $20-$200 total. The deposit can get pricey but they fully refund it.

Do you have one of their tanks?

BlacknBlue2 · Jan 31, 2016

I do not but I was looking into buying from them. And thats kind of wierd that they told me that I do not have to buy their stand to get the warranty. I guess I need to call them and find out what the story is.

I never talked to them. I'm just going off their warranty page on their website. Im going to try and call them tomorrow and I'll ask. I wonder if they would just frame a stand and I can skin it and still get the warranty. I'm starting to really like their tanks and haven't really heard anything bad about them.
