If I'm not mistaken Adam from @Battlecorals recently had his new grow out area furnished with all Glass Cages tanks. I'm not sure if they're 16" but I think he would be a good place to start. If I remember correctly he basically said they did fine work for him in the past.
Edit - looks like his new tanks are only 12" tall. Here is a link to the post in his build thread that details his experience. Hope it helps.

I've got a 6'x2'x16" that I'm picking up later this week. Will be my second tank from them. Only complaints are that they do not offer low profile (ghost) overflows and are a little sloppy with silicone.

What is your current tank from them? I am goin with a modular marine ghost style overflow and am sending the template to them to drill the holes correctly. They said they would do that for me
Welcome to r2r
Have bought many tanks from them. Some quiet large.
They don’t bevel edges, only polish. If you’re ok with that you will be happy with the tank, and very happy with the price you paid, because they’re the best in biz. They’re also easy to deal with and down to earth.
Would also say that if you buy a custom tank from your lfs, they likely bought it from glass cages and re-sold it to you

My current 45g rimless is from them. I've had it since 2011 and it still is going strong.
The silicon job is a bit sloppy compared to some higher end tanks that cost 2-3x as much, but nothing I won't be able to live with. Communication between you and them is minimal during the build, but as long as you exactly specify what you're looking for and your requirements they shouldn't need to talk to you much during the build.
Overall, I'm happy. I'm planning to get a much larger tank from them within the year, probably a 6' wide by 3' deep by 2' high tank.

Would you let me know when you get the new one that's 16" tall? I'm curious to see if that's tall enough to do a mixed reef

Since my tanks are a pretty good size, I went with Acrylic Creations in Butler, PA. We moved two huge glass tanks (265 gallons and 240 gallons) from Florida to Missouri and one small twist by the mover and I had water all over the place. After that, I decided that acrylic was how I wanted to go.

I’m in the middle of a build of a 75 I got from them in September. Tank is well made, drilled it myself (1st time ever), only complaint is delivery driver was 2 hours late because previous delivery didn’t have help unloading an exceptionally large (I believe 10’) tank. Otherwise it has been flawless purchase.

I was thinking about drilling myself, but was wondering if they drilled their glass before they put it together
