Hello,

I want to build a custom made glass aquarium. Are there any custom made GLASS aquarium companies in SoCal? If not, I may have to go for an acrylic aquarium from Advanced Acrylic.

Thanks for your help,
Kimha.

My store works directly with the local aquarium manufacturer such as Advance Aqua Tanks, Leemar, CADLights. Though the Cheapest cost wise, Fujimoto isn't idea if you want clean silicone, even glass lines, and an overflow box cut that is not cut with a hand router (actual experience). I got a 3000 square foot showroom with about 10 show tanks that are glass and acrylic both eurobracing and standard bracing. Feel free to swing by and get a thorough walk through of your project.

I would recommend Cadlights, as you can deal directly with builder. Leemar are very good quality, but you have to deal with a middleman and not with the manufacturer directly

I'd suggest you take Wally up and go check out his shop. They have a bunch of different tanks setup in the size range you suggested. I've always had good experiences in dealing with them.

Yea but with cadlights he takes your order on a napkin, loses it, and you have to chase him around for 3-4 weeks when he tells everyone 2 weeks.

You are right, Eddie at Cadlights is a little loose (maybe a lot loose) on his customer service, but I think his products are first rate and the prices are reasonable.

I like the middle man. If the tank is not right. The middle deals with it. Sometimes the middle man gets a better deal.
Bingo. Used a middle man for my tank and he got a better deal and dealt with any issues.
