Looking for recommendations for a tank manufacturer to build a 5'x5'x4' tank the will be used in trade shows, therefor, will need to be mobile. I am not sure wether glass or acrylic is the best way to go. Our company is fully capable of building an appropriate stand.....probably welded tube steel and powdercoated, but lack the capabilities of fabricating a tank of this size.
Can anyone recommend any tank fabricators out there that are capable and reliable? I've heard many times of fabricators missing target dates by months, and in our industry, that doesn't fly. I'm sure there will be some more specs needed, such as bulkheads for draining, etc., but this might be a good starting point to get some quotes.
 
Acrylic would probably be best since it would be much lighter than glass. Can’t help you with the manufacturer tho. Don’t onow many who deal with acrylic.
 
I just had an acrylic tank completed by zero edge aquarium. I haven’t filled it yet but they appeared to have done a good job. I would put a completion date in your contract thought...long lead time.
