I think that Nelson at Aqua Reef Aqutics has a builder of custom tanks that he works with.

I ordered my next tank from Planet Aquariums. Since I couldn't find a local store (as MA closed), I went with saltwateraquarium.com
The way it works is you ask them for a quote (25$...) then if you accept it, you will be able to fulfill it. Note that build times are very long.
Disclaimer: my tank is in production, so I cannot tell you anything else about the end result. I went with something like a Mega Matrix, since I don't need a rimless.

I'm PM'ing you since I don't know if these things are public. You can however find some ideas from their standard sizes here: http://www.dfwaquarium.com/Products/Planet-Aquariums/

I would second glasscages. I just ordered a custom tank from them and was impressed with their process and attention to detail.
I just got my Planet delivered today.
The pros:
- ordering through saltwateraquarium.com was not too bad (once the quote was finally issued)
- build quality is great, and came well protected
The bad:
- communication from Planet was nill: nothing, ever.
- I got a phone call this morning from the shipping company: "hey we'll be there in 15-20 minutes"
Living in Manhattan you can imagine the mess. Luckily for me a coworker kindly helped me get it off the pallet and move it into my place (140 pounds with 1 flight of stairs)
Overall a bitter sweet experience. I am sure it will last forever, but I wish the experience had been smoother.
