What is the name of that company that people use for custom tanks? I forgot. Any idea what a 280 gallon would run?

There are tons of custom tank companies. Among them: Miracles, Lee-Mar, Deep Sea Aquatics, Reef Savvy, CADLights, etc...

A 280 custom is going to be somewhere between an absolute low-end of $2k to a high end of about $6k, depending greatly on whether it's a rimless, how deep it is (shallower is a bit cheaper - glass is thinner), how long it is, and whether it's starphire glass or normal glass. An acrylic tank of this size will be perhaps 20% more expensive than glass.

None of those it was another one. People said they were sloppy.

2 or 3 of my local LFS do custom tanks. Check around locally.

you are talking about glass cages. For something that size you are probably looking at a little over $1000. I got a custom 240 gallon from them and ran me just about $1000. I must of been one of the fortunates ones cause when I called them and ordered it I specifically asked them about there sloppy silicone work. The lady is a bit mean but when I picked up the tank it was perfect
