Hello, I need a custom saltwater reef acrylic tank 10’x3’x3’ built. Who are the top few builders/companies in the USA? Pros and cons. Also what ballpark price am I looking at? (without shipping). Any information would be very helpful. Thank you.
 
I used Acrylic Creations out of PA for my 8 foot 300 gallon. Price for tank and steel stand was $4,000. I wasn’t pleased with quality. Both long viewing panels had a haze on the bottom 2”. Company said they would pay the bill for someone to polish it out, but I was unable to find anyone to do it. I polished it and was unable to improve the clarity. at the right angle you can see a million tiny half circles inside the panel not on the surface. It was crazing When I brought this to their attention, Acrylic Creations told me it would not be visible when sand was against it. Too bad for me it is a bare bottom FOWLR.
I wish I would have spent more time inspecting the tank prior to accepting it on delivery. The inside was very dusty and hid this defect.
