Know Any Sites That Sell Cheap Custom Glass Aquariums?

[GobyMaster]

Hey, the title pretty much says it all:
Anyone know any sites that sell custom glass tanks (like you say the volume, LxWxH, ect) for fairly cheap prices?
Thanks,
GobyMaster

I do not know of the tanks, but we build custom stands. Heavy duty, your choice of stain, solid planks and no worry of them ever to collapse. Pricing is comparable/better than the cheapo stuff at the stores and much more beautiful ! Can create however you like. We can ship Fedex LTL. I will upload some pics soon. Charging camera batteries at the moment.

www.glasscages.com is the only one I am aware of. Their prices seem fair, although not what I would call cheap. They do make some nice looking stuff though, with options for starfire glass, custom placed overflows, real wood cabinets for many sizes, etc. Good luck!

ND Aquatics

Several users on the site with large custom tanks swear by these guys very competative price.

do custom people make small cube aquariums....like just glass....no wood or lids?

If you ask nicely enough although it would be far easier to just buy an off the shelf model

I think Gobymaster wants places in the US rather than the UK, so out goes Windsor Aquatics and ND Aquatics for him. (since it says he is in the US)

Having seen a Boss 60gall marine tank i wouldnt touch them with a barge pole.

I bought a 125G with the stand and canopy from glasscages.com - and got the LIG glass on 3 sides. I am very happy with the tank, but I would say it wasn't a bargain, though I paid about 1/2 to 1/3 of what a similar setup would have cost from a LFS.

I will add that before I bought my tank from glasscages, I read many horror stories about them - but nearly all involved some serious customizations - like placement of drilled holes, overflow design, etc. They seem to do well if you buy something off the price list.

yes indeed i have heard that too. i have also heard on many, some commercial, who swear by them. but they are a much better tank than say Juwel, and are roughly the same price. mind you the price of their stands makes your eyes pop out!


i used the goggle search perimeters "custom aquaria usa" got quite a few links, perhaps that will help.

Where abouts are you in the US, I know a few places around here...But, not knowing where you are really doesn't help.

I'm smack dab in the center of the US, right in Lincoln, Nebraska.
