If you are looking for alternatives there are quite a few out there... this is a relatively brief list of them...

Your thoughts on custom tank manufacturers?

So lately I seem to see a lot of threads popping up on advice on custom tank manufacturers and which ones people would recommend. Last fall I went through the same process myself and landed on a manufacturer here in Canada. But it's recently dawned on me that in my search and even combing...

just to name a few, yes they will cost more than likely considerably more which I'm sure you're aware.

I have a 48" x 36" x 30" deep Glass Cages tank that's +/- 15 years old. Euro bracing top and bottom, no center brace (love that), never an issue. I've seen neater silicone work, but not really that bad.

curious, @inletfish did u buy tank yet and if so from where?

 

[david@wegetkraken]

Here's a 327 gal I bought from Miracles (excellent customer service) and a 90 gal from Coast to Coast (VERY nice quality). Both are going to run you quite a bit more than Glass Cages, but you can see the difference. Tank Me and Reef Savvy are top line, but come with top line pricing too.

If you don't mind acryclic, there's a builder in NC that has great deals on his builds.

Both look nice. Could you take a picture of the back? I'm interested to see how they cut out the overflow from tank to external supper box.

You looking for pics of the Miracles overflow?

It's a notch cut with a water jet and an acrylic plate siliconed over the face

Joe at Glass Cages is awesome! I have seen some things they are doing behind the scenes. I would say you will not be disappointed with their work!!

Thanks, that's exactly what I was curious about. Wondered whether it was a cut out or just a series of holes. I'm such a geek for this kind of thing LOL.

Lol any time, I'm an open book for any questions about it. FWIW Miracles is also the only other company you can order the original Ghost overflow from Reef Savvy with.
