    Anyone know of a good company that can build very large glass tanks (low iron front, the other sides wouldn't have to be glass.) And what a ballpark for a custom tank with low iron front glass, dual external over-flows and delivery. 10ft by 4ft by 30-36inch (I'm guessing $7000)

    This is going to be an extremely slow build from the ground up literally. But my townhouse may have sold and if so I will be doing a temporary move of my current 210g setup and building a house with this 750+g setup.

    Awesome.. I don't know why I didn't think of glasscages.com I have actually ordered from them before!!

    I got a price from them and they already got back to me!
    130 x 49.5 x 31 with dual coast to coast overflows external and low iron front and one side is only about $6000 not delivered


    anyone know how you safely get a tank this size into place?

    And just to be fair, I'm WAY off in the distance on this project still. Probably 3+ years before water goes in.

    Felix at reef savvy is the best IMO. You should check him out.

    I recently bought a 150 gallon from this company and it is ON POINT. We talked on the phone and got everything worked out. Everything from the order to me taking possession of the tank was flawless.

    On a side note you will need a lot of friends to help carry it into the house. These tanks are built to last forever and therefore extremely heavy.
