Hey I'm looking to get a custom tank made so if anyone knows any places that make custom tanks please post a link in this thread. So far I've contacted Aquarium Obsessed and Elos USA to get quotes. Thanks

Try Aquarium Habitats... they do very nice work on acrylic.
I have used them before, they made my custom 65 gallon with built in and cabinet for under $ 1,100 2 years ago all acrylic.

Try Glass Cages for glass... I seen the seams - they sometimes use too much adhesive.

Aquariumsforyou is another ... I found his quotes out of site though $ 4,500 for a 120 glass tank with stand and canopy..when I called he said ours is like no other.. I asked if it was made with gold leaf....LOL

For the money though IMO - I just bought a Oceanic 140 Ultimate with Oak stand and Canopy last month.. in cycle.

They are the ones building the Rimless tanks with the PVC bottoms.

They built the famous Steave Weast Tank. I have seen their work from a local reefer here and its simply amazing.

Not big at all. This tank will be smaller than my current tank.
I want a 24" x 24" x 18" rimless glass cube. I also want three sides to be starphire glass. This tank is going to be just for my zoa/paly collection.

J,
I had glass cages build my 24"x24"x25" out of Starphire and they are beautiful. Give them a call.

So far glass cages has given me the best price. Its like $200 less than every where else. I'm still waiting on a few quotes. Thanks to everyone who posted links.

Caution with Glass Gages. My friend had a custom tank built and the seams started to leak and caused the tank to crack. Another reefer in our club had the same problem. They are very sloppy and the customer service is horrible if you have a problem. Its a hit or miss with them. Spend the extra couple of $$ and you can have something last you for along time.
