Where is the best but fairly cheap place to get a custom tank?

[jeremymerriam]

I want to do a custom 30"x30"x20" high aquarium, with 3 side Starphire and the overflow/bulkhead installed.

Does anyone know of a fairly good place to shop without breaking my piggybank? (very low budget)

How is Glasscages? And what other options do i have?

Thanks reefers

don't think you can use best and cheap in the same sentence. try miracles, glasscages and coast to coast.

yea plus the fact the word "custom" means expensive lol

I meant best for the price . Thanks for the suggestions

Best price is Glasscages for sure, but there are many horror stories with them ( as well as perfectly happy customers) particularly if you request them to build something outside their standard sizes and configurations.

Glasscages seemed to be cheaper last time I checked.. but only real bad thing I hear from most people on this forum is that their silicon(ing) (I guess that what you'd call it?) is very sloppy... and maybe even problematic.

Also the way its been explained to me..

When something is custom.. and differs from the "standard" by much, equipment becomes harder to find, and you are either going to have over compensate and under compensate.

Most of the time, I think the custom builds cost a lot more then necessary.. and shouldn't be something thats taken up unless the financial support is really there. And also unless its really necessary and there is a spatial limiting factor which is making you do the "custom" build.

Good to know. I want to be sure of what I am buying
