    Who makes nice custom tanks in orlando or florida?

    Hi to all!

    New here....been reefing since 2000, just about to build my dream tank, FINALLY! Wasn't going to do it till i bought my house, been fixing everything at the house for the past 2 yrs, now for the fun! REEF TANK TIME!

    I need an in state glass tank builder, I'm not paying crazy money for shipping, sorry....I'll just go pick it up.
    i want to build a 72X20X24 tall to fit my current space perfectly, just need to find a place that builds nice tanks round here. Any ideas??

    Also Im breaking down my amazing softie tank 48X12X20 55g The green Star polyps and xenia are taking over again and i can't find anyone to take them. They have covered all my purple live rock and I'm over it, and refuse to kill any coral, on purpose. lol
    If any one wants to trade that would be nice too!

    Near orange and sand lake right south of Downtown Orlando

    Thx and happy reefing

    Pete

    Pete, Welcome to ORCA !!!

    As far as tank builders, The one I know are Live Tanks :

    There's probably more, but farther, these guys are in Melbourne.
    Good Luck,

    One of the highest rated custom tank builders that I have heard of is Reef Savvy in Miami. They make great tanks and stands for $$$. But if you want something really amazing, it could be worth every penny.

    some of the local shops have tie in with custom builders: Oceans Direct, Top Shelf Aquatics and World Wide Corals.

    Hi Pete

    FWIW I have a 150 Gallon Marineland Monterrey Deep Dimension custom tank, stand and filtration that will be available within the next two weeks. The aquarium is brand new, still in bubble wrap. This is a cube style tank. 36" X 36" X 28", simply a stunning tank. However, the cabinet that was built for it is a custom cabinet with over sized easy access doors, extra tall (42") and many other extras light automatic cabinet lights inside.... This is an epic aquarium.

    If your interested and would like to see it, feel free to send me a PM and I'll be happy to show you what I'm selling. I haven't officially posted this setup for sale, so this is the first notice out there. Pictures are available by request.

    The tank retails over $800 alone not including the stand, custom canopy, X Large sump and Warner Marine Research Protein Skimmer. I'll be asking 1400.00 for everything.

    Best Regards
