Custom Built Tanks... Where Do I Start?

[amyw2008]

Hi,
Have been looking at places in our house that I could put a tank but it would mean getting one custom made....
Does anyone have a custom made tank? If so, where did you get it from and was it more expensive?
Thanks

I usually make my own.... but it would help people to advice you if they knew where you are

A few of us have bought from ND Aquatics. Very good price and quality.

Have you considered a plywood tank?
Better insulated, custom shapes and sizes, and if you do it yourself much cheaper.

there's also a few more pictures in my marine nano journal which include the background which shows the tank of better.

a good company to deal with. i changed my mind many times after paying and agreeing the tank and it was never a problem. Good prices as well
