Can anyone direct me to a local glass or acrylic company that will make a custom tank? I found a place in LA but waiting to get shipping cost. www.crystalviewtank.com Since it would be created up here I'd want a glass tank. Any leads would be helpful. Thanks

krittertanks.com does good acrylic work. he's in san carlos I believe (south of san francisco).

socalcreations.com down in southern california is my favorite acrylic / custom builder. They make sumps, stands, canopies, and tanks. They do an amazing job! I'd highly recommend them.

Shipping for a 400lb. package from socal was just over $200.

I believe TruView can do custom tanks - have you contacted them? They are local as well.

Yes, I would also choose TruVu. They are a well established company and local. I would check with Steve at New Alameda (BAR sponsor)for a quote. Say hi to Steve for me.-Jim
