    Hello guys I am looking at getting a custom tank...problem is I'm not really sure I feel comfortable doing it myself and want to have someone build it for me. I am looking into a 36'' by 36'' by 16'' cube with a 360 degree viewing angle so the overflow would be in the dead center of the tank. Do you guys have any suggestions on where could have one made? Or if anyone has anything similar where did they get it?

    Look up custom acrylic tanks. Should be able to find a company near you. I think Tenecor would build one for you.

    Ya I have been in saltwater for about 6 years now and finally am going to build my dream tank with a center overflow. I love the 360 degree view...one of my local fish stores have a 300 gallon cube with a centered overflow

    you could try Melevsreef - he does Acrylic sumps and refugiums but I'll bet this would interest him.

    You can try Living Color Aquariums, they build custom acrylic tanks. They are more expensive then Tenecor on smaller tanks, but the quality of Living Color Aquariums are much much better.

    I would go with a glass built tank, not acrylic.

    Glasscages, Miracles in glass, and Great Lakes all will custom make tanks.
