I had dsa build my tank. It's 8'x3'x25". If I did it again I wouldn't make it 36" cause it's a pain to get through doors. Very happy with their build quality.

Planet Aquariums built mine. Just over 8 feet long; 104" x 36" x 28" deep. They used 3/4 inch low iron glass. Very nice quality in my opinion.

[TwistedMind]

Would either of you mind my asking what each of the tanks cost to build?

Planet Aquarium they are in Dallas right?

Where is DSA also if I'm not mistaken AGE is in texas to right?

[THE_BEAST]

im interested in knowing cost too. as i anticipate a large build in my future too

[Triggerman]

Can't go wrong with either DSA or planet aquariums they are both located in the Dallas area and are both top notch...any LFS can get you a price quote from either of them and pricing should be in the same range....if I'm not mistaken the original oceanic custom master builder is the owner of planet.

AGE is also in Dallas but they are usually higher in price...

I have used AGE , cost to cost and planet aquariums . All these are very reputed custom tank makers . Planet aquariums are new in business and they are aggressively looking for clients and their prices are dirt cheaper than any others competitors. Also Ordering from AGE and or from any other besides PA is usually expensive plus delivery charges can be very high . Elegant reef can get custom planet aquariums for a fraction of cost as from any other delivered. My current tank is all star fire ultra clear glass 1/2" 30x24x18 pvc bottom ran me for 850 . Quotes from AGE was 1100 and pick up was from Austin and cost to coast wanted 800 plus 350$ delivery charges

My tank, you have seen it, build by Planet Aquarium. Very high quality tank. You will like it. Don't get it too deep.
Tank these size need to have a Fish room with water and room to store and mix water and support equipments.
It will cost a lot to set up and to run.
