PistolPete Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Im looking to upgrade my 180 to a 200 plus acrylic. Any local builders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJanzen Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I know aquagiant on 127ave and 50st builds acrylics. Their website is in shambles right now and the woman at the counter didn't speak very good English any time I've been in there but they did have good size acrylic tanks at reasonable prices. On a side note their fish always seemed quite healthy as well, maybe just a fluke at the time I was in there as the store is in quite a state of disarray as well.

jvision Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I believe there's a company that works out of the Aquarium Illusions store - I can't remember the name of it, but I think if you Google custom aquariums in Edmonton, you'll find them.

PistolPete Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 When i checked out aquarium illusions website they only mention glass tanks. I will call them. Quick question. What type of tank is less likely to fail a glass or a acrylic? Im guessing acrylics leak before they fail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninkenshin Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Acrylic tanks are chemically welded together, if built properly there is no chance of it leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I could take a crack at it, but the ones I've built (30gal or less) leaked badly! :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninkenshin Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 There was a guy in the north end that made some 96x30x24, I think his name was Tony and he had a bunch of aros and flowerhorns. Not too such if he still makes them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
