Looking for rimless display tank. Size ~150g, maybe up to 200 g. Needs recommendation to start the search! Elos has very nice system/tank, but really expensive. Any good custom tank builder online or in New York area?
 
Just remember in this hobby you do what you pay for...1+ for Miracles, ADA is another good one. I believe Lee Mar is the middle of the road. I would avoid glasscages.
 
It is going to be hard to find a company that will make a rimless tank for you over a 120 for cheap....anything more then that your going to pay the big bucks for the thicker glass.
 
Prices have gone up a bit too, I guess partially because of transportation/fuel costs. A 48x30x24 (150g) with 3/4" starphire front/sides will cost around $1900 shipped. Probably add 30 percent to that to represent price increases over last year.

Some vendors will use thinner glass. That's more risky I guess?
 
I would go with Reef Savy, their tanks look a little better then Miracles. I own a rimless Miracles tank and for $2200 I expected a little better quality. The front seams do have some bubbles in them (something I didn't want with a $2200 price tag)
