I'm looking to get a custom glass tank built for my new project, its going to be 180 gallons and have a side overflow. Any suggestions on where to get the tank built? I have already checked into glass cages just wana see what my options are.

Coast to Coast in NJ & you can pick it up to save freight charges.
I am looking to get one made as wellHope you don't mind if I join in on you're thread.
FWIW, from searching threads, Miracles in Glass seems to be a popular choice.
bout time...
The Oceanic Deep series with Starphire is pretty nice if you are going with standard dimensions.
I have a Miracle in Glass tank and would recommend them for custom work.
oh boy rich is about time u got bored with your nano and step up and get a bigger tankI am looking to get one made as well

In terms of a custom tank Glass Cages is definitely the most cost efficient... I had quotes from Coast to Coast and House of Fins, and the tanks were 4x the price. CTC and HoF will probably do a very good job, but I was happy with my Glass Cages tank.

Marineland Deep Dimension you mean? I can't find anything on Oceanic Deep series
Yes, Marineland.. Are they not the same?

I would not recomend this tank company. You get what you pay for....an inferior product.

I have definitely heard bad things about Glass Cages, but I couldn't afford what other companies were quoting me for a 30 gallon tall with an overflow. Since my tank is pretty small maybe I lucked out, and I was really happy with the work that Glass Cages provided. I definitely knew I was taking a risk going in with it, as there have been reports of leaks occuring almost immediately after filling.
If you want great customer service and a guaranteed good tank (and have the money to spend), I would recommend Coast to Coast. They were really helpful during the RFP process and demonstrated an extraordinary amount of patience.

here's my story with glass cages:

I ended building my own tank. It came out okay. I learned a few things that will help if I build my next tank. My second choice for a custom would be Miracles. I saw Pierce's cube built by Mircales, and it is NICE.
