I may be wrong but I don't think we have a custom builder nearby, at least not glass. I know the owner of Aquatica in valley city does acrylic tanks but not glass. Pretty sure he built some of tidal gardens new tanks.
I will have to consider Acrylic and check them out!

I would not hesitate to reach out @Joe Glass Cages
Joe makes the process so easy. Really enjoys helping reefers design the perfect tank. My tanks of the past, present and future...glasscages.
Thanks Joe! I love my external coast to coast overflow you recommended!

I’m very happy with the 425 gal custom tank that I got from Crystal Dynamic. Good customer service and very high quality product.

One thing that might be a factor for you is where they’re located and the resulting shipping cost. Being also based in California, Crystal Dynamic saved me a bit on shipping - which was significant for 2,200 lbs of freight (tank + stand).

Pat at Coast To Coast built me a 6' 145 gallon tank and it is excellent
I too had a great experience with Coast to Coast on my 160.

Props to Joe for sharing that big list, says a lot about how he must do business. I would definitely give them a long look.

I know you said glass, but I had a 300g acrylic built and delivered to Illinois from Midwest Custom Aquariums in Minn. Chris was awesome to deal with. The tank survived a move to Florida and is doing well.

If your going to use Coast to Coast...........Just make sure you teach them what side of starfire glass goes to the outside. Ask me how I know. $3,500 later.

A local custom kitchen cabinet shop made my acrylic tanks I bet your local cabinet shop could do the same. if I wanted a brand name I would suggest talking to Tenecor. Make sure to Use 3/4 or thicker acrylic on a 300 gallon Or you will get deflection and bowing
